JOB TITLE

Mechanic

JOB REF

MR-LM-CM-EDT-114506

CLOSING DATE

23rd October 2011

JOB DESCRIPTION

This is an exciting opportunity to be able to make a difference where it counts – by contributing to the operational effectiveness of the lifeboat station through the correct operation, maintenance and repair of associated machinery and equipment.

To you, it will be the challenge that makes you tick. This is also a position that will maximise your skills, making a vital contribution to the service.

As a full time mechanic for our Severn class of lifeboat you should have successfully completed a marine or commercial engineering apprenticeship (or equivalent experience would be considered).  An understanding of maintaining high-speed diesel engines and associated electrical systems is required as well as a good understanding of fast modern boats up to 20 metres in length.

As a key part of the crew you will be a friendly team player and highly committed.  You’ll have excellent communication and interpersonal skills to build effective relationships with both volunteers and staff at the lifeboat station and Divisional Base.

Ideally, you will either have experience of identifying defects and logging and reporting them on a computerised database, or you will be willing to learn.

Our priority is to find the right fit for the team and therefore would be interested to hear from applicants who have a practical and trouble shooting approach to mechanical problems with diesel engines, a marine background is not essential.

As this is a sea-going appointment, you will become a full member of the lifeboat crew and be at the front line of our lifesaving service and as such you will need to satisfy the Institution’s medical and eyesight standards. The nature of this role will require evening and weekend work.
