About you

You’ll be familiar with a variety of engineering equipment and it’s design, production or support. Ideally, from a maritime background you will relish the challenge of resolving technical queries outside of your comfort zone. This is an ideal opportunity for someone seeking to develop their engineering career as it will offer you the opportunity to deal with all aspects of equipment be it mechanical, electrical, electronic or structural. You will be familiar with supporting documentation and processes across the whole engineering lifecycle. You’ll be able to handle time dependent demands so that we can keep our lifesaving assets on service. You will be currently residing in the Scotland region.

You will need :

Regular travel across the region and presence in the regional office in Perth is required with occasional travel to the coast and other operating areas including Poole.

So, if you have a high degree of customer focus and a desire to ensure safety and quality of front-line services so that our volunteer lifesavers can achieve our organisation’s aim to reduce drowning, this could be the role for you.
