About us :

A regional leader in marine electronics and electrical systems is seeking applicants to join our team of highly experienced technicians, system designers, and installers.

A veteran technician with direct and specific experience and references in this trade, including certifications such as NMEA, ABYC, or electronics manufacturer certifications, would be the ideal candidate.

If you are an experienced applicant, we can offer pay and benefits exceeding what you are making now. A signing bonus and moving allowance is also a possibility to motivate the right technician to join our team. South County, Maryland, is a phenomenal place to live!

Any candidate with marine service work or systems installation experience could also be a strong applicant, as we can provide training for specific electronics and electrical technical skills.

Our company invests in the right candidate with above-average wages, benefits, a company van, specialized tools and equipment as needed, company work apparel, helper and administrative support, industry and manufacturer training, and certifications.

The position is full-time, year-round, with benefits such as medical coverage, 401(k) / Simple IRA, paid holidays, and paid vacation. We generally work from 7 : 30 AM to 4 : 00 PM, Monday to Friday, with weekends off, though ambitious technicians can earn 1.5x overtime. We also offer some flexibility in working hours.

We operate out of a modern and clean facility designed specifically for this business, featuring equipment and materials storage, a retail showroom, a clean shop, a fabrication shop, and indoor and outdoor high-bay work areas. Each technician is provided with a workspace and office technology to perform at the highest level possible. The shop is located in one of the largest and most prosperous marinas on the East Coast, attracting customers from hundreds and even thousands of miles away for marine electrical and electronics upgrades. Due to a high demand for service and installation work, we have never laid off an employee.

As a full-service contractor, we offer consultation, design, sales, installation, service, and training on all major brands of marine electronics and electrical systems. Our team takes great pride in producing high-quality results while respecting the vessels we work on and maintaining a professional work environment. We foster a positive workplace culture with no politics or drama.
