About us

Our purpose is simple, to save lives at sea. Since the 19th century, our crews have been risking their lives to save those who are in danger of drowning. There is an opportunity at our Barry Dock Lifeboat Station for a Station Mechanic to join the team, whose resilience, leadership, and management skills are just as strong as their ability to keep Barry Dock's Lifeboat in perfect operational order.

Some of the benefits

  • £33,582 - £39,508 (dependent on experience)
  • 26 days’ annual leave plus Bank Holidays
  • Outstanding pension scheme (contributions of up to 16% of basic salary)
  • Life assurance
  • Health and dental cash plan
  • Relocation assistance is available

Your Role

As a Station Mechanic, most of your time will be utilised ensuring that our All Weather Trent Class lifeboat and In-Shore D Class and their equipment work to the highest order. You will ensure that the Lifeboat Station is well managed and assist training volunteer crew members - so that when an emergency shout does occur, you, your crew and your lifeboat will be absolutely prepared.

Your role will include:

  • Inspiring and motivating your team; managing their progress by leading them on seagoing exercises, conducting shore-based training, identifying ways they can improve and imparting your valuable knowledge
  • Meeting and talking to the general public about your station’s work
  • Taking a lead on Quality, Safety, Health, and Environment issues, helping to develop a positive culture within the station
  • Spending time in the day to day running of the Lifeboat Station; this may be in the form of answering e-mails, ensuring maintenance records are maintained or updating the station’s monthly assurance report.

About You

You’ll have the ability to build effective relationships with volunteers at the lifeboat station, the supporters locally and RNLI staff beyond, while acting as an ambassador for the station and the RNLI within the community.

  • To be a passed-out RNLI ALB Mechanic or relevant experience to achieve competence in a timely manner.
  • To demonstrate leadership and management qualities, and the ability to motivate and maximise people’s potential.
  • Experience of fulfilling a Lifeboat Mechanic role or equivalent, with the capacity and willingness to develop skills in other areas of seagoing duties.
  • Knowledge and experience of the operation, maintenance and repair of marine diesels would be desirable, an engineering background and mindset is essential.
  • This is an emergency response role so the successful candidates would need to live near the station and be prepared to respond to a pager 24/7 whilst on duty.

So, if you are ready for your next exciting challenge as our new Mechanic at Barry Dock lifeboat station, and if you consider yourself to be someone who is a natural leader, who can inspire and motivate a team of dedicated people then please apply via the button shown.
