Whether you already have boating experience or are looking to break into the sector, full training can be provided for the right individual.
The Role As a Dry Stack Operative, you'll play a key role in the day-to-day running of the dry stack facility, ensuring boats are launched, recovered and stored safely while delivering an excellent service to customers.

A positive, can-do attitude with a willingness to learn.
Strong teamwork skills alongside the ability to work independently.
Calm and professional under pressure.
Comfortable learning and using computer software.
A full UK driving licence is essential.
Previous boating or marina experience and knowledge of local cruising grounds would be advantageous, but it isn't essential as full training will be provided.
