One of the most internationally-known brands in the British Boatbuilding market are seeking a Test and Despatch Manager to join their team. 

Producing a wide range of Composite-built craft that are sold all over the world, this brand is fastidious when it comes to quality, testing and final sign off of its products before they arrive at the customer.

As the ideal candidate you will have worked within a Production Boatbuilder, covering the later stages of fitout, commissioning and testing of the various onboard systems. A City & Guilds Level 2/3 and extensive experience with the major engine, system and electrical brands is key, and an ability to not only check on fit and finish, but also carry out some basic system troubleshooting will be required. You'll also be happy to confirm final sign off. You will also need to hold excellent management skills and take high level responsibility at times. 

This role is a little out of the ordinary in that your 40 hour week is condensed in to 3.5 days over the weekend, working 0600-1800 Monday-Sunday and a 4 hour Thursday handover. You will need to be a multi-tasker, able to think on your feet and make senior-level decisions in the absence of line management/directors over the weekend period, sometimes in order to hit some very exacting timescales and KPIs. 

A hugely rewarding opportunity for the right individual, this position will prove both challenging and exciting, and offer the potential to work across a wide product range. 

Salary:

£35,000 + weekend bonus
