This is a unique opportunity for an experienced Marine Technician seeking both professional variety and a meaningful lifestyle change. The role is based in a remote, destination-driven recreational region known for its natural beauty, limited competition, and strong seasonal service demand. The operation is well established, professionally run, and intentionally focused on expanding and improving its service capabilities to meet growing demand in the area.
