**Salary Salary £32K, negotiable with experience, with boatfolk benefits package, performance bonus and yearly bonus**
**About Us**:
Here at boatfolk we share a passion for boating and our mission is to get more people out on the water having fun afloat. As part of the UK leisure industry, we operate 11 marinas at beautiful locations in England,
Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. But we’re about so much more than just marinas, whether it’s our on-site yacht brokers, boatyard and boat repairs services (boatcare division) or hospitality offerings, everything we do is about delivering the best possible experience for our boatfolk community.
To deliver that mission, we are looking for enthusiastic people who are passionate about the water, who love what they do and who will actively engage with our company values to drive constant improvement in the experience received by our customers and create inclusive places and communities where people can give boating a go.
With Snowdonia National Park as a backdrop, Conwy Marina is an ideal base from which to explore the picturesque cruising grounds of the North Wales coast. With lift out ashore up to 30T, engine servicing and repair, rigging and chandlery and boat training, the customer has everything needed on-site. Our boatcare service at Conwy is a Mercury / Mercuiser / Mariner certified service centre covering everything from new engine sales, service, repairs, re-power, and electrical work for all marine engines. We are expanding our boatcare offer to include hull treatments and are therefore looking for a GRP Laminator to join our friendly team.
**About the role**:
We have a vacancy for a GRP Specialist to join our vibrant friendly boatcare refit and repair team at Conwy
In addition to GRP work, sometimes the role will also involve:
- Facilitating boatyard cleanliness and safety.
- Assisting the Boat Lifting Operatives with all aspects of the boatyard services including the lifting, high pressure washing, blocking off and relaunching and towing of vessels, using the company plant and machinery.
- Site security and ensuring safe use of the marina & boatyard by all users.
Health and Safety will be at the forefront of all we undertake given the nature of our operations with the general public being on-site.
**About you**:
Ideally you will have 2 to 5 years plus experience in the servicing of vessels up to approximately 60ft, carrying out GRP laminating, finishing, polishing, hatch replacements and seacock replacement.

An understanding of different boats and their manoeuvring characteristics afloat, the ability to handle and tow boats competently and safely and experience in the safe operation of boatyard plant would be highly desirable, but training will be provided.
