Tide Forge Marine, Inc

Job Description

Job Description

Marine Mechanic (Inboards, Sterndrives & Outboards)

Company: Tide Forge Marine

Location: Wildwood, NJ & Surrounding Areas

Position Type: Full-Time (2 Positions Available)

Pay: $50,000 Base Salary Guarantee + Hourly Upside ($50/hr after 20 billable hours) | Earning Potential: $100,000+ / year

About Tide Forge Marine

At Tide Forge Marine, we build our reputation on reliability, craftsmanship, and modern service execution. Our motto says it all: "We are where we are supposed to be when we’re supposed to be."

Based in the Wildwood, NJ region, we serve a broad range of boaters across South Jersey. We are expanding our shop and mobile operations to cover the growing demand for both traditional inboard/sterndrive propulsion and modern outboard service. We offer top-tier earning potential, predictable base security, and clear operational support for mechanics who take pride in their work.

Why Join Our Team?

  • Guaranteed Base + High Hourly Upside: Enjoy a $50,000 guaranteed annual base salary for financial stability. Once you log 20 billable hours in a week, every additional billable hour pays $50/hour —giving you a direct path to $100,000+ per year .
  • High-Volume Job Flow: We give you direct ownership over your repair pipeline—you handle diagnostics, calculate total job costs, and execute the service.
  • Balanced Seasonal Scheduling: During peak boating season, Saturday availability is key to keeping our local boaters on the water. We offer flexible shift structuring—including options like Sunday–Monday off —to keep your workload manageable year-round.

Key Responsibilities

  • Diagnose, service, and repair outboards, inboards, and sterndrives (I/O) across various makes and models (Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, Volvo Penta, Mercruiser, etc.).
  • Perform complete diagnostic sweeps, routine maintenance, electrical troubleshooting, drive rebuilding, and seasonal lay-ups.
  • Conduct thorough inspections, calculate repair estimates (parts + labor hours), and communicate scope clearly.
  • Maintain clean work standards and ensure high first-time fix rates on shop and mobile service calls.

Qualifications

  • Experience: Hands-on mechanical experience with outboard motors and/or inboard/sterndrive propulsion systems.
  • Certifications: Factory certifications (Yamaha, Mercury, ABYC, Mercruiser, Volvo Penta, etc.) are a big plus, but solid field experience is equally valuable.
  • Diagnostic Skill: Proven ability to troubleshoot electrical, mechanical, and fuel systems efficiently.
  • Work Ethic: Strong time management, attention to detail, and a focus on getting job estimates right the first time.
