We are looking to hire a Marine Service Technician who is skilled in diagnosing, servicing, and repairing outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines across major brands like Yamaha, Mercury, and Volvo Penta, performing electrical troubleshooting and routine maintenance, and ensuring clear repair estimates with high first-time fix rates.

  • Certifications: Factory certifications (Yamaha, Mercury, ABYC, Mercruiser, Volvo Penta, etc.) are a big plus, but solid field experience is equally valuable.
