Career Story
Captain Cletus Henderson
Captain Cletus Henderson oversees the crew of the M/V Brady Dawson in Kirby’s inland marine operations. He is also a U.S. Coast Guard certified training instructor. His journey to this position is perhaps typical of many Kirby mariners, who come from all parts of the country, who may have served in the armed services, who sometimes tried other careers before coming to Kirby, and who ultimately advanced their careers through the Kirby training program.
Warning About Fraudulent Job Offers
Kirby Corporation has received reports of unauthorized individuals extending fictitious employment offers using the Kirby or related entities names. Often, these fraudulent offers of employment are sent via email, look legitimate and may even include details of the alleged employment opportunity such as job description, salary, work schedule and benefits. Sometimes the name of a Kirby officer, executive or employee is fraudulently used as the sender.
All Kirby Corporation open positions are posted and recruited through our Careers website at https://kirbycorp.com/careers/. We will never ask about banking information in an interview and we do not extend job offers until a candidate has submitted a job application through the Kirby career website and participated in a face-to-face interview (in person or virtual).
Please do not send money or provide any personal details to anyone suggesting they can provide employment with Kirby Corporation. We never seek fees from job applicants under any circumstances. We will never request payment for VISAs or other employment-related services or requirements.
If you believe you have been a victim of an employment scam, please report it to your local law enforcement authorities.
