Boat mechanic / marine technician

Boat mechanics and marine technicians service and repair boats and their systems. The work involves diagnosing and fixing engines, electrical, and mechanical systems on vessels, performing maintenance, troubleshooting marine-specific problems, and keeping boats running safely in the demanding marine environment.

They work at marinas, boatyards, and dealers. The role suits practical, versatile, problem-solving people who understand marine systems and enjoy hands-on work around boats, can diagnose and repair varied faults, handle the challenges of working in and around water, and combine mechanical skill with the marine knowledge that keeping vessels seaworthy requires.
