Boat Technician
About The Position
The Boat Shop is a family-owned marine sales and service dealership in Shreveport, Louisiana, and an authorized Vexus, Trifecta, SeaArk, and Caymas dealer. We started service-only in 2014 with a toolbox and two chairs, and we have grown into the premier marine service center in the Shreveport-Bossier area. We are a 10-person crew, the owners are on the floor every day, and every one of us is an avid boater. We do not just work on the water. We live on it. We are selling fun, and if we cannot have fun while we are doing it, how are we supposed to sell it? The work in this industry has changed. We are not working on old John boats with two strokes anymore. We are rigging premium boats that carry tens of thousands of dollars in Garmin and Humminbird electronics, running network cabling, and solving 12-volt problems. It is clean, modern, high-tech work, and we are growing. We are adding a technician who can take a boat from check-in to delivery and make it perfect.
Requirements
- A strong working knowledge of the 12-volt DC circuit and the ability to chase wiring faults, grounds, and connections.
- Hands-on mechanical aptitude with rigging, installs, and component repair (this is not heavy engine teardown).
- Willingness to learn and configure modern marine electronics.
- Attention to detail and a personal standard for finish quality.
- Ability to operate and test boats, including high-performance models.
Nice To Haves
- Prior boat experience helps, but it is not required. Factory training from our engine manufacturers and a Garmin installer class are provided after hire. If you have the electrical instinct and the right mindset, we will teach you the rest.
Responsibilities
- Perform annual outboard services accurately and efficiently.
- Rig and integrate modern marine electronics, including multi-display installs and camera mounts, to a finish a customer will admire.
- Diagnose 12-volt electrical issues, tracing grounds, connections, and faults.
- Run network and power cabling cleanly and precisely so any future technician can service the boat.
- Quality-check every repair and confirm boats run right, including test-driving high-performance models.
- Keep documentation, parts requests, and time tracking complete and accurate.
Benefits
- Standard benefits package
