Assist with electrical, electronic, plumbing, mechanical, engine, deck-hardware and rigging work according to your experience.
Install, configure and test new onboard equipment and systems.
Commission and prepare new Beneteau and Lagoon yachts before customer handover.
Carry out pre-delivery inspections and record incomplete, damaged or defective items.
Participate in sea trials and verify that repaired or installed systems operate correctly.
Assist with warranty inspections, technical reports, photographs and parts identification.
Provide clear records of work completed, time spent, materials used and further work required.
Maintain company tools, vehicles and technical equipment in a safe and professional condition.
Communicate respectfully with owners and explain basic equipment operation and maintenance.
Coordinate with specialist subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers when required.
Assist with yacht deliveries, boat shows and urgent customer-support situations.
Maintain high standards of workmanship, safety and cleanliness aboard customers’ yachts.

What we are looking for

Junior candidates.
Technical training or practical experience in mechanics, electrical work, electronics, plumbing or another relevant trade.
Strong practical aptitude and problem-solving ability.
An interest in developing a career in marine technical services.
The discipline to follow instructions, document work and maintain professional standards.
Sufficient English to communicate with colleagues and understand technical documentation.

Experienced candidates

Previous experience maintaining or repairing yachts and boats.
The ability to diagnose faults and complete jobs independently.
Experience in at least two of the following: marine electrical and battery systems; navigation electronics; diesel engines and generators; pumps, plumbing and sanitation systems; refrigeration and air-conditioning; deck equipment and sailing systems; rigging and sail-handling equipment.
Strong customer-service skills and the ability to explain technical matters clearly.
Experience with new-yacht commissioning, warranty work or manufacturer reporting.

Required for all applicants

Good workmanship and attention to detail.
Reliability and a sense of responsibility for the quality of completed work.
The ability to work independently and as part of a team.
A valid driving licence and willingness and eligibility to drive a company vehicle in Malta.
Flexibility for occasional sea trials, yacht deliveries, weekend work and travel.
Sailing or yacht-racing experience would be advantageous.
Formal qualifications are welcome, but practical ability, reliability and the standard of previous work will be equally important.

What we offer

A gross annual salary of €30,000–€45,000, based on experience and technical capability.
Training and development for junior candidates.
A competitive package for experienced technicians capable of working independently.
Work on a varied fleet of modern Beneteau and Lagoon sailing and motor yachts.
Manufacturer and product-specific training.
Exposure to commissioning, warranty work, fault diagnosis, technical installations and customer handovers.
Use of a company vehicle for authorised company duties.
A progression route towards Marine Service Technician, Senior Technician or Technical Aftersales Manager.
Relocation assistance for overseas candidates, including the flight to Malta, immigration and work-permit assistance, applicable permit costs, initial temporary accommodation and help finding longer-term accommodation.

Applications are welcome from experienced marine professionals and promising technical candidates based in Malta or overseas.
