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 Portpatrick Lifeboat Station for a Station Technician / Senior Station Technician to join the team. This would suit someone whose mechanical expertise, resilience, leadership, and management skills are just as strong as their ability to keep Portpatrick Lifeboat in perfect operational order.
Some of the benefits

• 26 days’ annual leave, plus Bank Holidays
• Outstanding pension scheme (contributions of up to 16% of basic salary)

Your role
The role of Senior Station Technician is focused on those individuals with an NVQ L4/SVQ L5 in an engineering discipline, or time served engineering apprenticeship, or sound background and experience in mechanical electrical or electronic engineering.
If these qualifications or experience are not held, then suitable individuals may be offered a Station Technician role in lieu.
In either role, most of your time will be spent ensuring that the Shannon Class All Weather lifeboat is kept in the best possible condition. You will also ensure that the Lifeboat Station functions on a day-to-day basis. You will be involved in 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, supporting their development, 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 records are maintained and working with the Operations Team.
About you
You will 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.
You will be someone who already holds or is willing and able to work towards the required qualifications and competencies for this role. If you don’t have everything mentioned in the job spec, please still apply, we are keen to hear how your previous experience could fit with this role in the RNLI. Attitude and willingness to progress and learn are most important.
You will be personally motivated, prepared to work in isolation and as part of a team, keen to solve problems, drive your own development and support others to develop. You will have high quality interpersonal skills and the ability to build open and inclusive relationships. You will take pride in your work and be willing to ask for and receive feedback.
To be considered for the role of Station Technician / Senior Station Technician at Portpatrick Lifeboat Station you will need:
• Knowledge and experience of the operation, maintenance, and repair of marine diesel engines. An engineering background and mindset is essential.
• To demonstrate leadership and management qualities, and the ability to motivate and maximise people’s potential.
• The potential to be passed out as a RNLI ALB Afloat Mechanic.
• Experience of fulfilling a Lifeboat Mechanic role or equivalent, with the capacity and willingness to develop skills in other areas of seagoing duties.
So, if you are ready for your next exciting challenge as our new Senior Station Technician at Portpatrick, and if you consider yourself a natural leader who can inspire and motivate a team of dedicated volunteers, then apply via the button shown.
This post requires a valid driving licence.
As this is a sea-going appointment, you will need to satisfy the Institution's medical and eyesight standards.
