Are you ready to get on the water with Freedom Boat Club?
We are Washington State's largest members-only boat club, operating 10+ locations across the Puget Sound and Lake Washington. This is an early-career role built for people who want to grow — no marine experience required (though would be beneficial, and recognized), just the right attitude and a willingness to learn. You'll work alongside experienced technicians, build real hands-on skills across a 200-boat fleet, and have a clear path forward as your capabilities develop.
Position Summary:
This is a full-time, Monday through Friday position with some seasonal overtime as needed.
During the summer season, you'll perform preventative maintenance on club boats — including at our locations — and support the field service team with repairs and upkeep as needed. In the off-season, you'll be based out of our Tacoma shop working on refurbishment projects, equipment maintenance, and preparing the fleet for the season ahead.
What You'll Do:
Perform preventative maintenance — oil changes, fluid checks, filter and parts replacement, etc
Install and troubleshoot gauges, horns, lights, and stereos
Assist with diagnosing mechanical issues on boats and engines
Perform detailing work — buffing, sanding, polishing, and bottom painting
Maintain a clean, safe, and organized shop environment
Support field technicians during peak season at our locations
Tow and transport trailers and boats across Washington
Operate a forklift within the shop environment (training provided)
Requirements:
Must be 21 or older— required for insurance and vehicle operation purposes
Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
High school diploma or equivalent
Physical ability to lift and carry up to 50 lbs unassisted
Strong attention to detail and pride in quality work
Self-directed and comfortable working independently
Calm and positive attitude during periods of high activity
Clear, professional communication skills
Personal mobile device for team apps (Slack, ADP, etc.)
Where This Role Can Take YouWe promote from within. The Marine Service Associate is the starting point of a clear career ladder:
Marine Service Associate → Marine Field/Service Technician→Advanced technical and leadership roles
We invest in the people who show up ready to learn.
Our Values:
As a Freedom Boat Club employee, we'll rely on you to reflect our core values — these aren't words on a wall; they're how we show up for our members and each other every day.
