The ideal candidate enjoys problem-solving, takes pride in their work, and is comfortable handling a variety of repairs. We're looking for someone with a strong marine background who can work independently, communicate well with customers, and isn't afraid to jump in wherever needed.

• Troubleshoot and service onboard equipment such as generators, air conditioning systems, ice makers, chillers, watermakers, and 12V electrical systems
• Work directly with customers to identify concerns, explain repairs, and ensure issues are resolved
• Coordinate with vendors and manufacturers when additional technical support is needed
