To meet a growing demand for our services, we're recruiting a Boatyard Operator to join our team at Yacht Haven Quay Plymouth.
About Us
With nine marinas in the UK and Europe, Yacht Havens Group is a major player in the Marine & Leisure industry and offers all the benefits and stability you would expect from a forward thinking employer.
Yacht Haven Quay, Plymouth, specialise in dry stack marina berthing, as well as the lifting and storage of a variety of vessels. Our unique position on the Cattewater near the Laira Bridge is a stunning place to work, with the added benefit of a brilliant cafe on-site!
The Role
You’ll be dealing with our berth holders, visitors and customers on a daily basis, resolving issues with a "can-do" attitude to enhance our customers' experience. This will be face to face and over the phone.
You’ll learn to operate 10 tonne capacity marine forklifts, mobile cranes, and hydraulic boat movers.
You’ll also be involved in machinery, plant and site maintenance, working outside and in all-weathers. You need to enjoy new challenges and relish your adaptability!
Due to the nature of our business, regular weekend work is required with time off during the week in lieu.
