River Valley Marine is hiring a Seasonal Marine Detailer to support our busy fall freeze protection and winterization season on Lake Minnetonka. We are looking for hardworking, reliable team members who enjoy hands-on work around premium boats, pontoons, surf boats, wake boats, fishing boats, and luxury marine equipment.

This is a great opportunity for someone interested in boating, marine, detailing, marina operations, trailer handling, outdoor work, or the marine and powersports industry.

If you like staying active, working outdoors, and being around boats every day, we want to meet you.
