Marine Diesel Technician

Description

Admiralty Marine, the authorized Volvo Penta dealer on San Diego Bay (2775 Kurtz St, Point Loma), is hiring an experienced marine diesel technician. We run a three-tech crew and have more work than we can take.

THE WORK

  • Mobile service at marinas around San Diego Bay plus shop work at our facility - company-dispatched, home every night, Monday-Friday 8:00-4:30, NO WEEKENDS
  • Volvo Penta diesel and gas packages: D4/D6/D8/D11, IPS pods, sterndrives - cooling, fuel, electrical, drives, turbos, transmissions
  • Factory diagnostic work (VODIA) - we train and certify you if you haven't used it
  • Warranty and campaign work to Volvo Penta standards; we handle the paperwork, you handle the wrench
  • A dispatch system that texts you your day each morning - jobs, slips, gate codes, parts staged and waiting
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
  • 5+ years hands-on marine diesel or heavy diesel experience; you can run a job solo from diagnosis to sea trial
  • Comfortable on boats in slips and on the hard; own hand tools; clean driving record
  • Volvo Penta, Cummins, Yanmar, or CAT marine experience a strong plus - Volvo Penta certification puts you at the top of the pay range
WHAT YOU GET
  • $32-$42/hr DOE - hourly means hourly, no flat-rate games
  • Volvo Penta certification courses paid by the shop
  • 7 paid holidays, 5 days PTO, 5 paid sick days
  • Health insurance 50% company-paid
  • Steady year-round work - San Diego has no off-season
TO APPLY: reply with a resume, or just a plain list of the engines you've worked on and the biggest job you've run start-to-finish.
