Marine Diver / Hull Cleaning Technician
Part-Time to Start | Opportunity to Advance to Full-Time
Marine Pro is hiring a certified diver to join our marine service team performing underwater hull cleaning, running-gear cleaning, and routine underwater vessel inspections throughout Sarasota and Manatee counties.
This position will begin part-time, with the opportunity to transition into a full-time position for a dependable, productive employee who consistently demonstrates strong performance and a superior work ethic.
We are looking for someone who takes pride in doing thorough work, understands the importance of working carefully around customer vessels, and can become a reliable part of our recurring marine-service operation.
Previous professional hull-cleaning or marine-service experience is preferred.
Compensation
$25.00 to $30.00 per hour
Hourly compensation is based on diving experience, marine experience, qualifications, and demonstrated ability.
Responsibilities
- Perform routine underwater hull and bottom cleaning
- Remove marine growth from vessel bottoms
- Clean propellers, shafts, struts, rudders, trim tabs, and other underwater running gear
- Inspect sacrificial anodes and report deterioration or replacement needs
- Assist with anode replacement as required
- Inspect visible underwater components for damage, corrosion, fouling, fishing line, or other concerns
- Take clear underwater photographs and video when required
- Document and report maintenance concerns discovered during service
- Follow established service procedures and safety requirements
- Properly maintain diving and hull-cleaning equipment
- Provide consistent, thorough service to vessels on recurring maintenance schedules
- Maintain professional conduct while working at marinas, yacht clubs, private docks, and customer properties
Requirements
- Current recognized scuba/diver certification required
- Previous professional hull-cleaning or marine-service experience preferred
- Familiarity with boats, running gear, bottom coatings, and sacrificial anodes is a plus
- Physically capable of performing demanding underwater work
- Comfortable working outdoors and in Florida marine conditions
- Dependable and punctual
- Strong attention to detail
- Able to follow established procedures and quality standards
- Able to identify and clearly communicate vessel-maintenance concerns
- Valid driver's license
- Reliable transportation
What We Are Looking For
This position involves more than simply cleaning the bottom of a boat.
Our divers are also an important set of eyes below the waterline. We expect our team to recognize unusual conditions, document what they find, and communicate potential problems so they can be addressed before they become larger repairs.
Reliability is particularly important because many of our vessels are maintained on recurring service schedules. We need someone who can consistently deliver quality work and become a trusted member of the Marine Pro service team.
Growth Opportunity
This position will begin on a part-time basis as we evaluate performance and continue expanding our diving operation.
For the right employee, this is not intended to remain a limited part-time position. A diver who demonstrates reliability, quality workmanship, professionalism, productivity, and a superior work ethic will have the opportunity to move into a full-time role as workload and responsibility increase.
Marine Pro is a growing yacht-management and marine-service company, and strong employees will have opportunities for additional responsibility and advancement as the company expands.
