The Irish Coast Guard is looking to hire watch officers and the pay is decent.

The service is looking to fill positions in the Marine Rescue Co-Ordination Centre (MRCC) in Dublin, Marine Rescue Sub Centre (MRSC) Valentia, Co. Kerry and MRSC Malin Head, Co. Donegal.

Following the completion of basic training, successful applicants will be asked to specify their preferred location and will be assigned to one of the three RCCs.
