Position Summary


THIS IS A STRICTLY HANDS-ON WORKING LEAD POSITION—NOT A DESK OR DESK-ONLY ADMINISTRATIVE ROLE.
The Dockmaster & Maintenance Supervisor leads from the docks and shop floor, actively carrying out physical
maintenance, waterfront vessel handling, daily pool staging, and event setups alongside seasonal staff. This position
is the club's primary, frontline person responsible for ensuring floating and fixed docks, utility connections, grounds,
and clubhouse physical assets remain safe, fully operational, and pristine for members and visiting yachtsmen. Additionally, the role coordinates daily pool preparation and oversees event setups to support club activities.

CRITICAL SCHEDULE REQUIREMENT: Because club and marina activities peak when members recreate, this role
REQUIRES regular in-person work on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and major summer holidays (Memorial Day, 4th of July,
Labor Day weekend) during the primary boating season, as well as on-call readiness for storm prep and tidal surge
response.
