The company is one of the West Coast's largest full service yacht companies, providing yacht owners with refit, repairs, vessel maintenance, new component sales and installation services.

- Perform risk analyses on projects
- Maintain healthy and happy client relationships with the goal of fostering repeat business.
The successful applicant will bring the following mix of skills and attributes to this challenge:

- At least five years’ experience must be relevant project management responsibilities in the yachting market, ranging from 60ft upwards.
- Qualification in Project Management or, failing that, substantive evidence of the use of management tools to ensure projects perform to time and budget schedule and to specification.

- The ability to plan and set goals and motivate those people working under you.
- Your keen eye for detail will be apparent in your administrative capabilities; therefore, you will be computer literate, and capable with Microsoft Office Suite, MS Project, and AutoCAD operations.

- Must be able to continuously monitor quality standards, and to clearly communicate and enforce expectations.
- As a good leader, you will also be motivated to pass your skills on to those colleagues who will benefit from ongoing coaching and development.
- You will exhibit well-developed commercial and communication skills, developing productive relationships with existing clients and with other professionals that the company works with.

Foreman/Team Leader Composites Fabrication - Northland (58777 / 0001) · Minimum 10 years' experience in relevant roles in composite / fibreglass construction · Track record in team leadership (five years as T/L or Supervisor) · Automotive (inc. motorsport & campervan) background preferred
We have received instructions to locate an experienced composites fabricator to join a dynamic and focused specialist business in Northland. It is not a marine business, but clearly the required skills are likely to be shared by those from both marine and automotive composites sectors. However, if you are someone who is passionate about boats, this will probably not be the job for you, as none of the production output floats.
The role involves leading a small team (4-5 people) in the fabrication of diverse automotive-based projects, some semi-production and other custom jobs or limited production runs. A varied working environment, bringing fresh challenges every week, is pretty much guaranteed. Many of the vehicles produced boast sophisticated engineering solutions for bespoke requirements, and some of the vehicles are at the very top end of the leisure market.
The role requires extensive experience in mould-making and foam core<>fibreglass/composite fabrication. If you have experience of working with some of the more exotic high-performance materials (such as carbon fibre and kevlar) as well, even better. Whilst these are not frequently used, there are some specialist applications where it will come in very handy!
It is likely that the successful applicant will also have worked on interior fit out and joinery to some degree as well, especially if coming from motor home arena.
We will be looking for at least 10 years' relevant experience, which will include team leadership and development, and in your references we will be seeking confirmation of your proven ability to bring focus, authority and direction to those working under you.
You will obviously be familiar with working to CAD plans and drawings and some CNC experience (programming and/or operating CNC equipment) would definitely be an added bonus.
We realise that most people reading this will be coming from a boat building background, but if you have also worked in the automotive/motorsports/campervan sectors, you are likely to be at least as - or maybe more - attractive to our client.
We want to have someone in place by the end of September, and so if this sounds like your next challenge, give Rob Everall at Marinejobs.co.nz a call on 021 996 796 to register your interest.
PLEASE NOTE: TO APPLY FOR THIS JOB YOU MUSTALREADYHAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO WORK IN NEW ZEALAND

Here’s an opportunity for someone to step in to an existing position as hands-on Office Manager and Administrator for a company operating in the Marine Electronics sector.

We will be looking for evidence of all of these functions in your CV. A more detailed job description will be made available at time of interview.
Sounds like a lot? Well, the current trading demands of the company suggest that the position can be covered on a part-time basis at approximately 25 hrs per week. The Directors are very keen to accommodate the ‘best fit’ person and so have an open mind about how this might work best for everyone.
You’re encouraged to apply if you need some flexibility in your working life. There is the long-term potential that this role may ramp up to a full-time basis, but this is not a 'given' at this stage.
In terms of location, the company is based to the south of Auckland, although relocation is on the cards. Open for all suitably-experienced/qualified applicants to consider, the current and proposed locations would ideally suit someone living in a broad swathe from Mount Wellington down to Manukau.

· Track record in leadership as Chief/2nd Engineer · Great mix of technical and commercial challenges in marine/industrial sector · Min. 10 years relevant experience
You’re a Marine Engineer – probably Chief or Senior Second - now seeking a well-paid challenge ashore in New Zealand, but still maintaining close marine connections. This may well be the challenge you have been looking for.
This company is focused primarily on the marine fabrication, mechanical repair and service sector, but also operates in a broader industrial engineering spectrum, which ensures a balanced customer portfolio.
The specific focus for this position is on Mechanical Engineering supervision, reporting to a Chief Engineer.
It is definitely the sort of environment that will appeal to a strong ‘all-rounder’, albeit that you will necessarily be specifically marine-qualified, with at least 10 years of leadership and managerial experience already behind you, including sea-time. New Zealand experience is preferred.
The successful candidate will bring a cool and mature disposition to the role, being considered but firm and decisive when put on the spot to make a tough call, whilst maintaining a strong focus on Health & Safety at all times for all operatives (inc. external sub-contractors) under your control.
We’ll be looking for specific examples of your innate initiative and ability to think on your feet when facing an immoveable deadline in a stressful situation: a 24/7 emergency response service is part of the challenge of this job, and you will have your part to play in supporting the duty roster.
You will necessarily have the technical and mechanical skills – as well as the disposition - to get your hands dirty in order to get the job done, whatever it might be. As a good leader, you will also be motivated to pass your skills on to those colleagues who will benefit from ongoing coaching and development, and you’ll also be keen to keep abreast of new technical advances in the sector to keep you and your team ahead of the field.
Your keen eye for detail will be apparent in your administrative capabilities. Normal duties will include planning, organizing and managing projects, corresponding with customers and suppliers (frequently by e-mail) and superintending project documentation, such as quotes, cost management schedules and invoices. Therefore, you will be competent in the use of MS Word, Excel and Outlook as a minimum.
You will exhibit the well-developed commercial and communication skills, developing productive relationships with existing clients and with other professionals that the company works with.
An excellent overall package is available.

Marine Sales/Technician - Northshore, Auckland (58697/0002) ON HOLD
· Trade Qualified Marine Technician · Outboards, stern drives and marine systems/fit out for trailer craft (RIBs and Sports Boats) · Role combines boat sales and workshop skills
This new role combines workshop and boat showroom skills. Mechanically speaking, you will have a broad range of experience over the major outboard and inboard/sterndrive brands, where the product will typically have been new or nearly new, thus orienting you towards warranty and service matters, rather than full scale strip downs and rebuilds, although these may arise from time to time.
A real bonus would be systems fit out and electrical qualifications (for on-board systems, trailers, etc.).
Duties will include attending to warranty matters on customers' boats, as well as supporting proving runs and boat demos, and clearly if you possess relevant boat handling certificates, then these will serve you well.
In terms of sales, we shall be expecting to see at least three years of relevant marine experience; you will have a winning manner and possess the confidence to advise customers on the best boat for their needs, plus the options to get the best out of their investment - and be safe on the water.
All this talent will come packaged as a personable and well-presented individual with the skills to win and retain customer confidence.
The wage will be determind in accordance with the overall capabilities of whoever wins this role, and the package will of course include commission on boat sales made.
This is a small team with a very 'flat' structure, where people are expected to be able to cover a broadly-based role and pitch in to support whenever and wherever needed. There is also the potential to contribute to the development of new products when they get prototyped and fine-tuned for launch.
Recently moved into new premises, and promoting a diverse and evolving boat range pitched to take on the competition world-wide, this is a great opportunity to consolidate all of your experience.
· Trade Cert. plus 8-Years Experience Minimum · Focus on Inboard Petrol & Diesel Engines and Gensets · Marine Electrical competence a bonus
Put your marine skills to use on beautiful Bermuda. Our client has a new opening - you can read more general information about the island on our website on other ads, so let’s cut to the role itself.
We are inviting urgent applications to join an established marine team operating from two Bermudan locations with ‘one-stop-shop’ facilities for a huge range of leisure and smaller commercial vessels. This vacancy sits in the smaller offshore workshop, which is a small team of 5 including the boss (who’s a marine engineer) and therefore requires good all-rounders to take on whatever comes their way.
We want to talk to trade certified Marine Mechanics/Engineers with a solid foundation (min. 8 years) of experience with marine inboard petrol and diesel engines and gensets. Being closely aligned to the US, petrol engines still command a large slice of the market with low fuel prices.
There is not much call for Outboard motor work, although such experience will obviously count as a bonus on top.
Of more relevance to the company would be your experience and competence in marine electrical system installations, diagnostics and repairs. If you’re Electrically-Registered, even better.
Work is weekdays only, 8am to 5pm with an hour for lunch. There is an initial probation period of three months, and upon successful completion of this, you will be reimbursed your full air fare; completion of overall probation takes a year.
It’s a good package: the first month of housing upon arrival is paid for, and we are advised that Income Tax represents a deduction of just 4.75% from your wages, which normally start at not less than USD $28/hr, according to the level of experience you bring, with a review after the first month.
There are further salary deductions for Social Insurance (i.e.Government Pension - $30.40/wk currently) and Health Insurance ($60.59/wk, with a company contributing the same amount) and a company pension plan, once you become eligible to participate after the qualifying period of service.
The hurricane season is just about over, and the season is starting to crank up. The immigration process into Bermuda can be slow, so if you are interested, please don’t delay, as it may take three months or more to resolve all the paperwork. This company is motivated to move fast because one of their team is heading back to the family business.

We will however need to see Trade Certification on your CV or, if not, a minimum of seven years relevant experience and evidence that you are at the top of your game.
If you've been painting houses or cars or the odd boat for a mate in the back yard, sorry, but you are not for us.
Your CV should detail the vessels you've worked on, and if you are able to submit photographs of projects that you've played a significant part in, we'd like to see them as well.
We have roles through to very senior staff available, so if you think one of the above might suit you, please send your CV in for review without further delay.
This picture, taken at a previous Auckland International Boat Show, illustrates the range of vessels on display.
The largest 'on water' exhibition in New Zealand, there is a natural focus on the larger vessels through to Superyachts, as well as show-casing some of the fine traditional work done by restoration specialists on classical craft. Attendances were strong and reports of good orders from several exhibitors reaffirm signals that we are slowly pulling out of the recession.
This year's event ran concurrently with the Louis Vuitton trophy, and of course the Kiwis came good to retain the cup.
All eyes are now on the proposed format for the next Americas Cup - especially after the spectacle of the formiddable BMW Oracle trimaran making Alinghi look like an also-ran - but confidence is high that the courtroom squabbles that have dominated for too long are now behind us and there can be a return to exciting international competition for more than a select band of billionaire combatants. Competitions like the Louis Vuitton have served to keep the crews focused and match fit, and NZ Boat Builders must now be hoping for some new orders for the ultra-competitive racing craft which have forged such a reputation round the world.
These are jobs where company instructions are currently suspended or in the pipeline and pending further development, as and when instructed by the client.
If you think that one of these roles might be what you are looking for, and you're in a position to play the long game, then send us an enquiry so that we know of your interest and can take things forward at an appropriate pace. But please remember, companies can - and do - change their minds, especially in the present economy, and we have no control over the withdrawal of any of these positions at any time.
