Are you mechanically inclined? We are looking for people who know how to fix things and are ready to work. We offer training and competitive pay. Entry level and experienced positions available. 

What is Entry Level?
If you have never worked in a business situation as a mechanic, you would be considered entry level. 

What is Experienced?
You are experienced if you have worked as a mechanic professionally, this means that you have tools and most likely a roll around toolbox. You do not need to be supervised to perform normal mechanical tasks. You understand how to use manuals and special tools, look up parts after a minimal instructional period, and properly fill out a work order or RO, and any necessary paperwork for the dealership to be reimbursed by a boat or engine company. You stay on task without being badgered and are responsible for the work you perform. You will be required to use a computer for logging on and off of jobs and keeping track of your work and to look up most parts. We will provide instruction for our system and marine specific itmes you may not be familiari with. Basic computer knowledge is required. You will be required to communicate with boat companies via email. If you have worked as a mechanic we will offer basic training in these areas but you may have to spend some of your own time learning. Essentially an experienced machanic should be up and running in our shop in no more than a week from being hired. 

Having performed the service work on your own or friends automobiles, boats or snowmobiles does not qualify you as being an experienced mechanic. We may make exceptions for people based on training at technical colleges, also consideration will be given for training and experience in other fields like diesel, agricultural, aviation, or automotive. If you have a question in this area please call or email Tom.

What kind of work would I be doing?
Our work falls into a few main areas. First preparing new boats, which consists of installing drives and starting and running the boat and checking over all the systems. filing warranty claims with any thing that is wrong. Second is routine service and warranty repairs, things like oil changes and services and replacing warranty items that are defective. Another item that falls into this area is trade in inspections. Third would be major repairs like rebuilding drives and engines. Fourth would be fiberglass work (no experience required).

How do we pay technicians?
Technicians are paid a monthly salary and commission based on how many hours they bill out. Techs are paid for the hours they bill when the dealership is paid for those hours. If you can bill more than 8 hours in a day you get paid for all the hours you bill. If you can only bill 2 hours in a day you will only be paid commission for those 2 hours. 

Other information:
Our shop is open Monday through Friday 9-6 and Saturday 9-5, so you may have split days off and you may have to work Saturdays.  We try to keep mechanics on a consistent schedule so you can plan for your time off. Our busiest weeks are the weeks before and after all major summer holidays. They are not available to be vacation or absent without pay. They are required work weeks. So we don’t take extra days off for those holidays, for instance on Memorial Day in May, we close at 5 on Saturday and reopen Tuesday at 9. Everyone works Tuesday through Saturday the week after Memorial Day. We do the majority of our business in the summer so we work when people need us to be here. 

We are a growing business and we keep all of our key employees year long. The postions we are offering are full time, 12 month a year positions. If you are interested in seasonal employment we could talk about that as well. 

You must be able to bend over, climb in and out of boats, reach into small areas and lift up to 50 lbs regularly and up to 90 lbs on occasion. Proof of US citizenship (drivers license, or state issued I.D. etc.) or proper paperwork will be required for all employees, all state paperwork will be sent in and filed. 

If you are interested please send, fax or email your resume. If you don’t have a resume call and we will mail, fax or email you an application or make a list of your employment history with references and with phone numbers and address. Your references will be contacted. If the reference information is not included you will contacted once for the information. If we do not receive the formation you may not be considered for the position. 

We are a great place to work and don't micro-manage our employees, and we are quite flexible. If you are a good worker we will train you and would love to have you working for us.

Thanks
