JOB DESCRIPTION
Clipper Ventures is an international marine events company promoting round the world yacht racing. Famed for the world's only amateur global race, the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, the company also owns the rights to the professional solo round the world race VELUX 5 OCEANS, as well as running a corporate events division Clipper Events and a world-class training programme.

Founded by legendary British sailor, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, the first man to ever circumnavigate the globe solo, non-stop, the Clipper Race was established to allow anyone, regardless of previous sailing practice, the chance to experience the exhilaration of ocean racing.

We require a full time, experienced electrical maintenance engineer to join our technical team in supporting our fleet.  The fleet consists of 12 70' Round the World Race yachts and 10 68' ex-Race yachts.

Whilst the primary requirement of the role is to maintain the onboard electrical systems, it will also involve undertaking general maintenance duties on all of our yachts whilst they are in the UK (including re-fit) and also during each of the 15 Clipper RTW Race stopovers in various parts of the world.  Knowledge of sailing yachts and their systems is therefore a prerequisite.

The successful applicant must have good general mechanical skills and must also have experience in:
12 & 24 volt DC electrical systems (batteries, chargers and generators)
240 volt AC electrical systems
Whilst not specifically required, an understanding of electronic navigation systems would be beneficial.

Anyone applying for this position must be able to work on their own initiative as well as within a close knit team and be prepared for long and unsociable hours, working weekends / bank holidays, a demanding work schedule and extensive worldwide travel.

Whilst we are interested in formal qualifications, previous experience of hands on abilities will be advantageous.  A valid driver's licence is required.
