This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment and takes pride in building lasting relationships with boaters who live for the water.
 
As a Service Writer, you’ll be the primary point of contact for customers needing service and parts—translating technical needs into clear solutions, setting expectations, and ensuring every customer feels confident, informed, and excited to return.

<li>Be part of a tight-knit, high-performing marine team</li>
<li>Engage with passionate boaters who rely on expert guidance and service</li>
<li>Build a long-term career in the marine industry with a growing organization</li>
</ul>
Requirements:
