Job Description

Marine Technician — All Levels | Wake & Water Lake Norman

Mooresville, NC · Full-time · $53,000–$142,000/year · Relocation assistance

The southeast's #1 towboat dealership is hiring Marine Technicians at every level — apprentice through lead. Paid factory certifications, a $1,500 tool allowance, and a pay plan where every certification you earn is a permanent raise.

Wake & Water Lake Norman is the region's #1 Centurion, Supreme and Revel Boats dealership. We also carry Montara and Monterey, and we service all makes and models — but towboats and wakeboats are what we do.

We are a SERVICE centered dealership. Our service team is the most important thing we offer our customers, and we pay like it.

If you think you're at the top of your game and the best tech at the shop you work at now — apply. You're who we're looking for.

If you think inboards and wakeboats are too hard to work on, DO NOT APPLY.

We hire at three levels

Where you start depends on what you can do on your own, not on how long you've been in the trade.

Apprentice — $53,000 to $67,000You have mechanical background and you want to learn inboards from people who know them. We train you and pay for your certifications.

Journeyman — $74,000 to $99,000You work independently, diagnose accurately, and turn a repower without hand-holding. Inboard experience required.

Lead / Master — $101,000 to $142,000You run the shop floor, take the jobs nobody else can solve, and mentor the techs around you. We hold you to a higher standard.

Pay is base hourly plus a bonus on every hour you bill, plus a permanent raise for every certification you hold. No cap. We'll walk you through the numbers before you accept.

What you'll do

• Maintain and repair marine vessels — engines, electrical, audio, ballast systems and hulls
• Diagnose and troubleshoot using schematics and precision measuring instruments
• Inspect used and consignment vessels to identify problems before the customer finds them
• Install and rig new equipment and components
• Water test vessels
• Work with customers and teammates to understand what they need and deliver it
• Keep accurate records on every repair
• Follow safety protocols and keep a clean work area

Lead techs also mentor other technicians, handle escalated diagnostics, and sign off on quality control.

What you need

Every technician

• Valid driver's license, insurable by our carrier
• Able to lift heavy components and work in all weather
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Willingness to learn inboards and get certified — we pay for it

Journeyman and Lead

• Previous experience as a Marine Technician — INBOARDS ARE A MUST
• Strong inboard knowledge and skillset
• Solid understanding of marine mechanical and electrical systems
• Proficient reading schematics and using precision measuring instruments
• Fiberglass repair experience is a plus
• PCM or Mercury certifications are a strong plus — and each one is a permanent raise here
• Indmar and Ilmor experience is highly desirable

What we offer

• Above competitive pay — base hourly plus flag bonus plus certification pay, uncapped
• Relocation assistance — meet our experience criteria and we WILL pay to move you across the country
• $1,500 annual tool allowance — specialty and diagnostic equipment is on us
• Factory training fully paid — tuition, travel, lodging and your hours in class
• 40-hour weeks — overtime available upon approval, never mandatory
• Guaranteed income floor through the slower months
• Health, Dental and Paid Time Off

We only want the best technicians on our team, because we understand how important you are to our success as a dealership.

If you're serious about the marine industry and you have the skill set, we want to talk. Come see the shop, meet the crew, and we'll run your actual pay numbers with you before you decide anything.
