Training Technician
RNLI
Date: 3 weeks ago
City: Poole
Contract type: Full time
Your role
There aren’t many jobs that combine the excitement and the thrill of working with volunteer lifeboat crews, with the satisfaction of knowing that you’ve helped to save lives. This is a vital role in carrying out and maintaining the lifeboat training fleet, along with acting as Mechanic during our training courses.
Without the boats and other training equipment, the RNLI Trainers can’t perform their job, which is where the Training Technician (Mechanic) steps in to save the day. Ensuring that the training fleet is maintained in tip top condition is your primary role. Repairing any emergent defects quickly and efficiently to ensure the availability of the equipment.
Some of the benefits
As well as the onshore maintenance role, you will act as Mechanic on the training vessels when the courses are using the boats at sea. You must be at least an operator level as a Mechanic on a current ALB.
This face to face contact with the volunteers and staff on training courses presents many opportunities to learn, develop and enhance your life-boating skills.
Your maritime engineering background will provide you with a thorough understanding of operating machinery on a range of craft, a detailed understanding of safety at sea as well as knowledge of repairing small craft.
