Marine Technician (Apprentice)

COMPANY: M.P. Marine Electrical & Electronics DESCRIPTION M.P. Marine was started with the intention of replacing chaos with a plan. In the world of boat wiring, we don’t do “winging it.” We provide our team with a clear roadmap so that every system we touch is built right, stays safe, and just works. We are looking for an Apprentice who wants to move past the guesswork and master the craft of high-end marine electrical systems. We are looking for our first full-time employees. This is a unique chance to get in on the ground floor of a specialized firm focused on the future of marine power, specifically Li‑Ion systems and NMEA 2000 digital networks. You won’t just be another number here; you’ll be working directly with the Owner to help set the standard for how we work.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Disciplined Execution: You’ll follow detailed instructions for rigging, cable routing, and securing connections. You are responsible for making sure the work is done right the first time. The Last 5% Rule: You’ll ensure that when a customer opens a hatch, they see a work of art—labeled harnesses, clean cable runs, and a tidy bilge. We obsess over the details most people never see. The goal is to leave every boat looking better than we found it. Technical Investigation: We don’t expect you to know everything, but we expect you to learn how to find the answers. You’ll use the resources we provide—ABYC standards and manufacturer portals—to find the right answer. Operations & Reliability: Your punctuality and accurate logging of hours/materials in our project software will allow us to grow.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Intentionality: You have a strong mechanical aptitude and a clear desire to join the electrical trades. You don’t believe in “making it work” with zip ties and prayers. You’re interested in understanding the how and why as much as you are the end result. Transparency: You are honest about what you know and what you don’t. At M.P. Marine, mistakes are for learning, not hiding. If you make one, own it immediately so we can fix the process, not the person, and avoid repeating it. Commitment to Mastery: You are ready to pursue your ABYC certification. We fully fund the training and exams because we want you to be an expert, not just an assistant. The Basics: High School Diploma or GED and a valid driver’s license.

THE PAYOFF

Compensation: $24.00 – $28.00/hour (depending on your starting aptitude). Certification Bonus: A $500 lump‑sum bonus the moment you achieve your first relevant certification (ABYC/NMEA). Direct Growth: Direct mentorship from the Owner and a clear path for pay increases based on the milestones you hit.
