Experienced Marine Technician

Our client, an established, full-service marina in Southern Michigan, is seeking two experienced Marine Service Technicians to join their team. This is an excellent opportunity for technicians who enjoy working in a clean, modern facility with quality equipment, a consistent weekday schedule, and opportunities for continued manufacturer training.

The ideal candidate has at least three years of hands-on marine service experience, strong diagnostic and mechanical skills, and the ability to work independently on outboard engines. Experience with Suzuki and Mercury is highly preferred, although technicians with other marine manufacturer backgrounds are encouraged to apply. 

Our client values experienced technicians who take pride in their work, contribute to a team environment, and are committed to keeping their technical skills current as marine technology advances.

Key Responsibilities

• Diagnose, troubleshoot, service, and repair marine outboard engines, primarily Suzuki and Mercury.
• Perform routine maintenance, inspections, winterization, and seasonal service.
• Diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical, and engine performance issues.

• Conduct on-water testing to verify repairs and vessel performance.
• Maintain accurate repair documentation and ensure quality workmanship.
• Assist with general shop operations and collaborate with other team members as needed.
• Participate in manufacturer training and maintain current technical knowledge and certifications.

Qualifications

• Minimum three years of professional marine service technician experience.
• Strong experience diagnosing and repairing outboard engines.

• Ability to safely operate and water-test boats.

• Team-Oriented Environment: Work alongside experienced professionals in a collaborative shop where quality workmanship is valued.

Why Join Our Client?

Unlike many seasonal marine operations, our client provides a consistent Monday-through-Friday schedule with weekends off. Their modern, waterfront facility allows technicians to perform repairs and conduct on-water testing without leaving the property.

With an established customer base and a strong commitment to quality service, our client is focused on doing the job right, investing in its technicians, and maintaining a professional, team-oriented workplace.

If you're an experienced Marine Technician looking for a well-equipped shop, competitive hourly compensation, and a better work-life balance, we'd like to hear from you.
