About the role We operate a dry stack and wet-berth marina with a fuel dock, an onsite boat club, and service-provider partners sharing the ramp and docks. We are looking for a working supervisor to run the dock day to day: on the forklift, on the dock, and leading the crew. This is a hands-on job. You will spend most of your day moving boats and working alongside your crew, not behind a desk. You will also ensure the work gets done to standard: safely, in the right sequence, and documented. Ownership and the Property Manager have already set the operating rules, safety standards, and tenant agreements for this property. Your job is to apply them consistently on the dock, keep clear records, and escalate anything that falls outside them. You will not be asked to negotiate policy or settle disputes with our onsite partners. That sits above you, and you will have support when you need it. What you'll do Operate the marine forklift to launch, retrieve, and rack vessels safely and efficiently Run daily yard sequencing, rack assignments, and berthing; adjust in real time for weather, volume, and equipment status Supervise and schedule the dock crew; train new hands and keep training records current Coordinate daily with our boat club and service-provider partners on staging, haul-outs, and shared use of the ramp, docks, and fuel dock Operate the fuel dock and follow spill-prevention and environmental compliance procedures Inspect docks, pilings, pedestals, and the yard; handle routine maintenance and keep the property clean and hazard-free Carry out hurricane and severe-weather preparation under the property's storm plan Document launches, retrievals, incidents, damage, and daily operations What we're looking for Someone who works safely without being watched, and who writes things down. A lot of this job is judgment in the moment: whether the wind is too strong for a particular lift, whether a hull is properly supported, whether a boat should go out at all. We want someone who is comfortable pausing an operation when something looks wrong, and who understands that "wait" is an acceptable answer even when someone is in a hurry. Several parties operate on this property, each with their own schedules. You will work with all of them cooperatively. When someone asks for something that is not safe or is not permitted, you hold the safety line, explain why plainly, and bring it to the Property Manager. You do not have to win the argument. You just have to not give ground on safety, and get it on the record. You will do well here if: You'd rather have the awkward conversation on the dock today than the damage claim next month You document as you go, so that when a decision gets questioned three weeks later, there is a record of what happened You are steady with customers and partners, including the ones having a bad day You take the standard you are given and hit it without needing to be chased Requirements 3+ years of marina, boatyard, or waterfront operations experience, including at least 1 year as a lead hand, crew lead, or supervisor Documented prior powered industrial truck (forklift) training.
