The Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA) is looking for a practical, reliable and motivated Maintenance & Marina Hand to join our Operations team.
n
This is a hands-on role with plenty of variety. You'll work across our marina, clubhouse, grounds and fleet of Club vessels, while also supporting some of Australia's biggest sailing events.
n
If you're someone who enjoys fixing things, working around boats and being part of a busy operational environment, this could be the role for you.
n
What you'll be doing:
n
No two days are necessarily the same. Your role will include:
n
Carrying out general maintenance and repairs across the Club's marina, facilities, grounds and assets.
n
Performing routine maintenance and upkeep of Club vessels.
n
Working with the Operations team to deliver the Club's maintenance program and keep jobs on schedule.
n
Preparing and maintaining race management equipment for regattas and major sailing events.
n
Driving Club tenders and providing on-water support.
n
Supporting marina operations and ensuring Club vessels and equipment are safe and ready for use.
n
Assisting with the installation and removal of Yacht Tracker systems on competitor yachts during ocean racing events.
n
Helping to ensure the safety of members, volunteers and staff during on-water operations.
n
Pitching in with other operational and maintenance tasks as required.
n
What we're looking for:
n
We're looking for someone who is hands-on, dependable and takes pride in their work.
n
You don't necessarily need to have worked in a yacht club before. We're interested in people with robust practical skills who are comfortable working around boats, machinery, tools and facilities.
n
Ideally, you'll have:
n
At least 2 years' experience in a similar maintenance or operational role.
n
A trade qualification or strong relevant industry experience.
n
A current NSW General Boat Licence.
n
Current First Aid and CPR qualifications.
n
Experience working independently and managing day-to-day tasks.
n
Good organisational skills and the ability to prioritise competing jobs.
n
Strong communication skills and a professional approach when dealing with members, guests and staff.
n
Experience supervising staff or coordinating daily tasks would be an advantage.
n
Why work with us?
n
This isn't your typical maintenance job.
n
You'll be working in a unique waterfront environment, surrounded by boats and sailing, with the opportunity to support major sailing events and gain experience across marina operations, vessel maintenance and facilities management.
n
You'll be part of a close-knit Operations team where being willing to get stuck in and have a go is valued.
n
If you're practical, switched-on and enjoy working around boats, we'd love to hear from you.
