Wooden boat restoration shop in the Wolfeboro area looking for one full time employee.
Experience in wooden boat restoration is not necessary, but attention to detail, mechanical ability, a willingness to learn, and staying off your phone are must-haves. If you are addicted to your phone, please don’t waste our time or yours by applying for this job as you will not make it through the probationary period. Also be aware that this job is not about puttering around tinkering with old boats. We do like to joke around, have fun, and listen to good music as we are working. At the same time, we are a busy shop with a lot of work to do. We take pride in our efficiency and doing things right the first time, without wasting time. You will be expected to hustle when circumstances require it. Every season is busy, but spring and fall are hectic and you will get plenty of exercise.
Duties will include sanding, varnishing, removing and reinstalling hardware, winterizing boats, finish woodwork, engine work, various mechanical work, 12 volt electrical work, helping to launch and retrieve boats, stripping old finish off, and picking up after yourself. It is OK if you do not end up excelling in all of these duties, but you will need to excel in most of them, the most important one being picking up after yourself.

Two weeks vacation after one year
Nine paid holidays (one of them being your birthday)
