Certified Technician

About the role

At Irish Boat Shop, we do more than fix boats—we help people enjoy the water. With over 60 years on the shores of Northern Michigan, we’ve built a reputation for quality work, trusted relationships, and a strong team culture that values craftsmanship and character. We're looking for a Certified Marine Mechanic to join our crew of professionals.

• Perform routine maintenance and seasonal service (commissioning & winterizing)
• Tackle major jobs like repowers, rebuilds, and overhauls
• Install new systems, troubleshoot issues, and upgrade older vessels
• Keep detailed records (we like clean paperwork as much as clean installs)
• Work safely with boats, trailers, and equipment in the yard and on the water
• Jump in where needed—because no one here says “that’s not my job”

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience as a marine technician
• Current certifications (ABYC, NMMA, or OEM-specific training required)
• Solid understanding of schematics, manuals, and diagnostic tools
• Physical ability to lift 50 lbs., climb ladders, and work outdoors year-round
• Great communication skills—you’re good with both teammates and customers
• A valid driver’s license and a clean driving record

Qualifications

• Competitive wages based on experience and certifications
• Health insurance, retirement plan, and other full-time benefits
• A waterfront workplace (yes, really) with beautiful locations
