About us
Our purpose is simple, to save lives at sea.
For 200 years, our crews have been risking their lives to save those who are in danger of drowning.
There is an opportunity at Rosslare Lifeboat Station for an engineering professional to join the team as the Senior Station Technician.
This role would suit someone with broad mechanical expertise, ensuring the Rosslare Lifeboat remains in perfect operational order.
Additionally, strong leadership, resilience, and management skills are essential for navigating challenges, identifying and resolving defects, and effectively implementing maintenance plans.
Your role
The role of Senior Station Technician is focused for those individuals with a Republic of Ireland (ROI) NFQ Level 6 or higher in an engineering discipline, or time served engineering apprenticeship, or a sound mechanical, electrical, or electronic engineering background with extensive demonstrable experience.
If these qualifications or experience are not held then suitable individuals may be offered a Station Technician role in lieu in Grade D, and targeted training will be provided to reach the required standard.
In either role, most of your time will be spent ensuring that the All Weather Lifeboat (ALB) 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 the technical training of 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:
• Implementing the planned and preventative maintenance schedule.
• Fault finding, diagnostics, and defects reporting.
Developing solutions to ensure the ALB is always ready for operation.
• Working with the Area Technical Manager, the Senior Regional Technician, and the Regional Technical Cell to ensure smooth operations by resolving problems effectively and efficiently as they arise.
• Inspiring and motivating the volunteer technical crew; supporting their development, conducting shore-based training, identifying ways they can improve, and imparting your valuable knowledge.
• Taking a lead on Quality, Safety, Health, and Environmental 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.
This is an emergency response role so the successful candidates would need to live within a reasonable distance from the station and be prepared to respond to a pager 24/7 whilst on duty.
Some of the benefits
• Salary:
€47,104 to €55,416 (dependent on experience)
• 26 days’ annual leave (plus Bank Holiday days)
• Outstanding pension scheme (contributions of up to 16% of basic salary)
• Life Insurance
• Health plan option
About you
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 above, 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 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 personally motivated, prepared to work independently, and as part of a team.
You are keen to solve problems, drive your own development, and support others in their development.
You will have high quality communication and 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 Senior Station Technician at Rosslare 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 a passed-out as an RNLI ALB Afloat Mechanic.
• Experience of fulfilling a Lifeboat Mechanic role or equivalent experience in other equivalent disciplines, 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 Rosslare Lifeboat Station, and if you consider yourself an engineering 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.
Safeguarding
The RNLI is committed to safeguarding; protecting a person’s health, wellbeing, and human rights, enabling them to live free from harm, abuse, and neglect.
We expect all employees and volunteers to share this commitment and have a zero-tolerance approach.
The suitability of all prospective employees and volunteers will be assessed during the recruitment process in line with this commitment.
This will include relevant criminal record checks being carried out dependent on the eligibility of the role.
(England & Wales; DBS check, Scotland; Disclosure Scotland PVG, Northern Ireland; Access NI, Republic of Ireland; Garda Vetting; International, International Child Protection Certificate process).
Diversity at the RNLI
Our staff and volunteers have been saving lives at sea without prejudice for 200 years.
We respect and value diversity of background, skills and perspectives within our teams, and consider it essential to help us deliver a world-class lifesaving service.
We are an inclusive organisation and welcome applications from everyone.
In addition to having the skills needed for the role, we also look for applicants who share our commitment to living our RNLI values (trustworthy, courageous, selfless, and dependable), and helping us work towards Our Vision:
