WHO ARE YOU?
You are someone who doesn't just service boats, but you truly understand them and how they interface with other systems. You are not afraid of a challenge and you enjoy troubleshooting and solving problems. Ideally, you have an interest in boating, but that's not a prerequisite. You have a professional and efficient work ethic and a good, team attitude. Completion of mechanics training programs and boat work experience are a plus. Perhaps you're a tug boat technician looking for a little change of scenery. Or maybe you're a freelance mechanic and are tired of being on call for clients 24/7. Most importantly, you understand how boat engines and their systems work and enjoy the satisfaction of fixing them.
WHO IS KKMI?
KKMI is the premier boatyard on the San Francisco Bay. We have two locations: Sausalito and Point Richmond. We are currently looking to fill this position at our Point Richmond location. Of the many things that are important to us, three things stand out:
1. We are proud to be an integral part of the boating community.
2. We place a huge amount of importance on being industry leaders in promoting best practices as they pertain to Safety, Health and the Environment.
3. We are family run and we treat our team members like family.
WHY KKMI?
Working around boats is, to put it honestly, pretty cool. There is something about participating in crafting, fixing, and improving boats that just feels meaningful. A majority of us understand that concept: some of us caught the bug after we started working here, a lot of us were drawn to the boatyard specifically because of our passion for the sport. We provide a positive work environment, good pay and benefits, great people, and experience doing something you love.
