• Building supplier relationships, resolving warranty issues, and sourcing parts cost-effectively
• Maintaining full-service histories for each yacht and using this data to drive improvements
• Overseeing health and safety in the yard, dock, and workshop
• Coordinating with the Store Supervisor to maintain stock levels and reduce waste

WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Proven experience in mechanical and/or electrical engineering (Marine experience preferred but not essential)
• Previous team management or supervisory experience
• Highly organised, assertive, and confident managing people and priorities
• Familiarity with yacht systems and general maintenance routines – Desirable
• Financial and operational awareness — budgeting, cost control, and documentation
