Are you a technical problem-solver who thrives in the engine room? Ignition Marine is seeking an experienced Marine Technician or Senior Marine Technician (title dependent on experience) who refuses to cut corners. In this hands-on role, you won't just swap parts; you will diagnose complex mechanical issues, execute precision repairs, and uphold the highest quality standards on vessels ranging from recreational runabouts to superyachts. You will join a knowledge-edge marine company where technical mastery and passion for the trade are non-negotiable.
WHY JOIN IGNITION MARINE SERVICES?
Ignition Marine is an ISO 9001-accredited marine solutions provider based in North Vancouver that delivers comprehensive services for vessels ranging from recreational to commercial ships. Acting as a premier "Pacific Northwest Marine Centre," the company specializes in yacht sales and brokerage while operating a full-service technical department that handles mechanical engine repairs, electrical systems, structural fibreglass fabrication, and complete vessel refits. The broad scope of expertise extends to specialized offerings such as marine repowering, insurance claim repairs, professional skipper services, and canvas fabrication, all supported by a team of certified marine engineers and technicians focused on high-performance quality control.
WHAT YOU WILL DO:
You are the hands and eyes of the company. You deliver the technical execution that keeps the fleet on the water.
- Technical Execution: Diagnose, service, and repair diesel and gas marine engines (MAN, Cummins, Volvo, Mercury) and onboard systems (hydraulics, electrical) with zero-error precision.
- Operational Adaptability: Thrive in a dynamic environment. You must be comfortable working in tight engine rooms, crawling into confined spaces, and operating in cold or hot weather conditions.
- Digital Reporting: Maintain rigorous documentation. You will submit daily reports with photos and videos for every task, ensuring 100% quality control.
- Issue Rectification: Approach every job with a problem-solving mindset. You don't just "do the job for a living"; you enjoy the challenge of rectifying complex issues that others can't fix.
- Asset Care: Treat every vessel with "white-glove" respect, ensuring work areas remain pristine and tools are returned to their proper place daily.
THE EXPERIENCE, SKILLS, AND COMPETENCIES YOU BRING:
You are a mechanic who loves the trade. You understand that one loose screw can cost thousands, and you take pride in getting it right the first time.
- Non-Negotiable Industry Experience: Proven experience servicing yachts is a must. You understand the unique demands of luxury vessels.
- Technical Mastery: Deep knowledge of marine engines and systems. Certifications in MAN, Mercury, Yamaha, Volvo, or Cummins are a significant asset.
- Digital Proficiency: You must be comfortable using tablets and mobile software to track time and submit daily technical reports.
- Work Ethic & Passion: You possess a genuine passion for mechanics and troubleshooting. You are self-motivated and can launch into productive work.
- You are patient, respectful, and capable of working collaboratively in a diverse team environment.
- A valid driver’s license is a requirement.
- Customer Satisfaction: The company prides itself on having more than 95% returning customers, making the ability to maintain these loyal relationships critical.
- Personal Resilience: Personally resilient, with the capacity to demonstrate a growth mindset and commitment to continuous improvement.
WHAT IGNITION MARINE OFFERS:
- Career Growth: Ignition Marine values loyalty and long-term potential. This role is a pathway to deeper technical knowledge and future opportunities within the company.
- The opportunity to work with a respected and established brand in the marine industry.
- A comprehensive benefits package with 100% company-paid health benefits.
- Holiday shutdown time-off in addition to vacation days.
- A fast-growing, "work hard, play hard" team that values loyalty, harmony, and high performance.
