From smooth, mirror-like gelcoat surfaces to carefully buffed and polished details, you’ll apply the coatings that define the look and feel of our world-class vessels.

  • Mix materials and adjust spray equipment settings to meet quality standards 

  • Follow all safety protocols when handling chemicals, PPE, and ventilation 

  • Maintain tools and workspace for consistent quality and cleanliness 

Qualifications:

What It Takes: 

  • Experience with spray equipment, buffers, and other finishing tools 

  • Ability to identify surface flaws and make fine adjustments for best results 

  • Steady hand, attention to detail, and pride in delivering a perfect finish 

  • Physical ability to stand, bend, reach, and lift up to 50 lbs 

  • Familiarity with gelcoat, paint, or similar coatings in marine or automotive environments preferred 

  • Strong communication and teamwork skills to support smooth production flow 

Why This Job is Special: 

Your finish is the first thing people see, and one of the lasting impressions they’ll carry. As a Marine Coating and Finishing Technician, you give each yacht its signature look. You’ll walk away each day knowing you’ve helped turn a boat into a work of art.  

Turn craftsmanship into a lasting impression.
