Job description
Mobile Marine Evaluation Technician
Take Your Marine Expertise Beyond the Service Bay
Boater's World Marine Centers is seeking an experienced Mobile Marine Evaluation Technician to join our growing Service, Inventory, and Consignment teams.
This is not your typical dealership technician position.
As a Mobile Marine Evaluation Technician, you'll travel throughout Florida evaluating boats being considered for consignment, trade, or direct purchase. Using your technical expertise, you'll inspect vessels, perform engine diagnostics, conduct sea trials, and clearly communicate your findings to boat owners while providing detailed inspection reports to our internal Service, Inventory, and Consignment teams.
This position requires more than strong mechanical ability—you'll often be the only Boater's World Marine Centers representative on-site. Professional communication, sound judgment, and the ability to explain technical findings in a customer-friendly manner are just as important as your diagnostic skills.
When field evaluations allow, you'll also assist with used boat repairs, mechanical reconditioning, and inventory preparation at our Bradenton location and other company dealerships throughout Florida.
If you're looking for a role where every day is different, enjoy traveling, working independently, and helping build one of Florida's premier used boat inventories, we'd love to hear from you.
Why This Role Stands Out
Travel throughout Florida evaluating a wide variety of boats and marine brands
Play a direct role in determining which boats become part of our inventory
Work independently while representing one of the fastest-growing marine dealership groups in the country
Utilize advanced diagnostic equipment, scan tools, and compression testing equipment
Perform sea trials, mechanical evaluations, and light mobile repairs
Company vehicle, tools, diagnostic equipment, and mobile technology provided
Opportunity to help launch and grow a new mobile evaluation program
Factory certification opportunities and long-term career growth

Safely launch and retrieve boats as needed to complete water testing and evaluations
Capture detailed photographs and videos documenting vessel condition
Identify and accurately document visible fiberglass, hull, deck, transom, or structural concerns for specialist review
Prepare detailed inspection reports with repair recommendations and preliminary parts and labor requirements
Professionally explain inspection findings and diagnostic results to boat owners without discussing valuations, pricing, or acquisition commitments
Communicate all findings promptly with the Service, Inventory, and Consignment teams
Mobile Repairs & Reconditioning
Perform approved mobile repairs and light reconditioning when practical and authorized
Complete routine maintenance, electrical diagnosis, accessory repairs, battery and charging system repairs, and other approved mechanical repairs
Repair and recondition used boats at Bradenton and other dealership locations when field assignments allow
Perform minor trailer repairs and basic trailer maintenance when appropriate
Help prepare acquired inventory for resale while maintaining dealership quality standards
Equipment & Field Operations
Operate and maintain an assigned company vehicle, diagnostic equipment, tools, and mobile inventory
Safely launch, retrieve, tow, and reposition boats when authorized and properly equipped
Maintain professional conduct while working at customer homes, marinas, storage facilities, and dealership locations
Upload inspection reports, photographs, scan results, and repair documentation promptly
Follow all company safety, environmental, marina-access, customer property, and roadworthiness policies
Maintain a clean, organized, and professional mobile work environment
Requirements
Minimum 5 years of professional marine technician experience
Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills
Experience working with outboard engines, marine electrical systems, steering, controls, fuel systems, cooling systems, and onboard accessories
