Lead Marine Trainer - National Role

GoBoat serves around 120,000 guests each year across six different metropolitan locations in Australia, in line with our mission to make the water accessible to everyone.

After six years in operation, and more than twelve months of careful planning, we are now recruiting for a Lead Trainer to head up our new training academy, built around delivering the highest quality boat & PWC licence training to the general public and our crew.

This is a new role, and will require leadership qualities, as well as outstanding training & assessment skills. You will have a demonstrated passion and gift for training, learning and development.

You will have the opportunity to spearhead this new business unit, delivering on our comprehensive business plan but having a real impact on the direction and quality of the offering. 

Initially the focus will be on Recreational Marine and PWC licence, with a high quality online platform already developed for the theory component. There is scope to add other marine-focused courses such as commercial qualifications as the business unit grows.

The role will be based in Brisbane or the Gold Coast (we are flexible), however the initial six months will be heavily biased towards Brisbane. Interstate travel will be required at least quarterly after the first six months and as your team grows and we establish operations in other states.

Our existing national and state teams are professional, and driven to deliver the highest standards of safety and customer satisfaction. You will have those same standards, and work collaboratively as part of a high-performing team!

Your initial duties will include:

• Work with our National Operations Manager and National Marketing Manager to refine course content and delivery for imminent launch of GoBoat Academy

• Coxswain Grade 1 (if you have an inferior qualification we may consider assisting you to gain this, if you outperform in other areas)
• TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment
