Marine Service & Repair

Marine Service Master Technician

AeonSea Test Marina 2 Service Center

Washington, North Carolina, United States Full Time Onsite Service Center$85,000 - $135,000 / year

About the role

AeonSea Test Marina 2 is seeking an experienced Marine Service Technician to perform diagnostics, repair, maintenance, and installation work on a wide range of recreational and commercial marine propulsion systems.

This is a hands-on technical position for an experienced marine mechanic who is capable of independently diagnosing and repairing both gasoline and diesel marine engines, including outboard, sterndrive, and inboard propulsion systems.

The Service Technician will work closely with the Service Manager, other technicians, marina operations staff, and vessel owners to complete scheduled maintenance, troubleshoot mechanical problems, perform repairs, document work performed, and return vessels to service safely and efficiently.

Primary responsibilities include engine diagnostics, preventative maintenance, fuel-system service, cooling-system repairs, electrical troubleshooting, propulsion-system maintenance, lower-unit and sterndrive service, inboard repairs, engine component replacement, commissioning, and general marine mechanical work.

Technicians are expected to accurately document diagnostics, labor, parts, repairs, and recommendations within the marina's service-management system and communicate additional repair needs to the Service Manager before performing work outside the approved scope.

The ideal candidate is a highly skilled marine technician who takes pride in accurate diagnostics, quality workmanship, organized documentation, and safe work practices.

Requirements

Candidates must have strong hands-on experience diagnosing, servicing, and repairing both gasoline and diesel marine engines.

Applicants must be experienced with:

Outboard engines

Sterndrive propulsion systems

Inboard marine engines

Gasoline marine engines

Diesel marine engines

Fuel and ignition systems

Cooling systems

Marine electrical and charging systems

Engine diagnostics and computerized diagnostic tools

Lower units, drives, transmissions, and related propulsion components

Preventative maintenance and seasonal service

Troubleshooting mechanical and electrical faults

The technician must be capable of working independently from a service request or work order, performing an accurate diagnosis, identifying required parts and labor, completing authorized repairs, and documenting the completed work.

Strong attention to safety, organization, cleanliness, and customer property is required.

Candidates must also be comfortable working aboard vessels, inside engine compartments, around docks and boatyards, and in varying outdoor conditions.

Required Mercury Marine Certifications

Applicants must maintain appropriate current Mercury Marine technical certifications, including:

MerCruiser Sterndrive Certified

MerCruiser Inboard Certified

Outboard Certified

Mercury MerCruiser Master Technician

Mercury Outboard Master Technician

Candidates should be capable of applying their Mercury training across diagnostics, maintenance, warranty-related procedures where applicable, and complex mechanical repairs.

Additional manufacturer certifications, ABYC certifications, diesel-engine training, electrical certifications, or other recognized marine-industry credentials are considered highly valuable.

Technical Expectations

This position requires more than routine parts replacement. Technicians should be capable of diagnosing the underlying cause of mechanical or electrical failures and determining an appropriate repair strategy.

The successful candidate should be comfortable handling work ranging from routine annual maintenance to complex engine and propulsion-system diagnosis.

Because AeonSea Test Marina 2 services a variety of vessels, technicians must be capable of transitioning between gasoline and diesel-powered boats and working with multiple propulsion configurations.

Benefits

AeonSea Test Marina 2 offers a comprehensive employee benefits package.

Eligible employees receive health, vision, and dental insurance, along with access to retirement plans designed to support long-term financial security.

Employees also receive access to both paid and unpaid time off for vacation, illness, personal needs, family responsibilities, and other approved absences.

The marina may also support continuing technical education, manufacturer training, and maintenance of relevant professional certifications based on business needs.

Specific eligibility requirements, employer contributions, waiting periods, and benefit-plan details will be discussed during the hiring process.
