We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic Senior Harbour Assistant to be an integral part of the Harbours Team, supporting harbour users at Stranraer, Port William, Isle of Whithorn and Garlieston Harbours.
The main responsibilities of the role are:
To ensure the safe and efficient operation of the harbours and equipment in compliance with the appropriate legislation.
To supervise minor maintenance works within the harbours and navigable channels.
To assist with the administration of berth management, bookings and payment collection.
Suitable candidates will need to be able to work as part of a team and a certain level of basic Microsoft computing applications knowledge is required, particularly Outlook, Excel and Word. Training support will be available for computer use.
Experience in boat handling is essential, while knowledge of harbours and marina operations including the Port Marine Safety Code is desirable. If not already held, obtaining a commercially endorsed boat handling certificate and a crane operators certificate will be supported but essential to retaining the position.
Developmental opportunity to obtain a Harbour Masters Diploma and the potential for future promotion, will also be provided.
Good communication will help you engage with members of the public, commercial operators, boat owners and other staff to keep the harbours activity, billing, infrastructure and defect reports accurate. Liaison with contactors will also be required. A driving licence is required for the use of council vehicles to conduct site visits.
The work is occasionally tide dependent with the requirement to work outside of normal office hours.
Candidates will need to be prepared to work in poor weather. Full PPE will be provided.
We look forward to receiving your application.
