MasterTech is a Skilled Trades recruitment agency that places marine technicians with marinas, boatyards and shipping operators across the US and Canada. We recruit inboard and outboard motor techs, pod drive and generator specialists, and marina service staff on a direct-hire basis. We work on contingency: no up-front fees, and you are invoiced only after your new hire starts.
The industry
How we recruit marine talent
Marine hiring runs on a clock. The repair work stacks up over a short summer and the winterization window closes fast, so a search that lands in September is a search that failed.
We recruit for marinas and boatyards, and also for the tanker, cruise and cargo shipping operators who need crewed technical staff on longer rotations.

Marine hiring FAQ
Straight answers.
Can you hire ahead of the summer season?
Yes, and earlier is cheaper. Marine searches that start in late winter reach technicians before the season locks them into a yard. A search that starts in June competes with every other marina on the coast.
Do you recruit for commercial shipping as well as marinas?
Yes. We recruit for tanker, cruise and cargo shipping operators alongside the marina and boatyard work.
