TomBettle Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 Rather ironic timing after my fun and games at the weekend, but one of the companies my boss owns is in urgent need of a full time diesel engineer. We also own the Dorset Belles. www.dorsetcruises.co.uk We are in urgent need of someone who can go beyond the job of a mechanic alone. A large part of the job will be as full on crew. Meeting and greeting customers as they come aboard and generally being able crew working alongside the captain to make for smooth sailings. BUT The Belles are old classics and whilst the engines are pretty modern, they can and do breakdown from time to time. This is when we need our engineer to do the superman act by dissapearing below and coming out with a working engine and a boiler suit on! The Belles start running from the Bournemouth Pier at Easter weekend and run to various locations from Swanage to Poole Quay, to Brownsea Island. This is a fabulous opportunity to spend the Spring through to Autumn afloat. That said, the job is a permanent contract and out of season you'll be getting stuck in with getting all the fleet (includes the Shockwave jet boat) in fine fettle for the following year and also working as an additional man within our Yanmar dealership. Are you more than just a mechanic? Can you scrub up well and handle thousands of foregin tourists with a smile on your face? Are you a first class engineer? We need you! I have no idea what the money will be, my boss has simply said the right person will be well paid. Please can you email me in the first instance with your full details and a very brief description of your experience. I am not the HR person, but will forward everyone's details to my boss who will hopefully contact you by return. I hope the mods don't mind this. It is an advert, but will hopefully result in a forum member getting a really fun and interesting job, working with a great team of people already on the Belles. Tom Quote

A qualified diesel mechanic will get himself a very different and hopefully enjoyable job. I don't work for the Belles, but we are all a small team that also includes Dan Chapman and I think we are a pretty sound bunch who all help each other out. Quote
unimog404s Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 Hello Tom Had a swift reply,but it looks like I was a little too late. I just would to say thankyou for the fast response to my pm and your help on this matter. Regards Howard Quote
TomBettle Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Posted April 25, 2009 It was worth a try Howard. Stay in touch with the marina though a other positions come up and our engineering side seems to be growing. Quote
