QR Code Link to This Post
Wooldridge Boats builds premium aluminum boats from the ground up—starting with raw metal fabrication and finishing with fully rigged, water-ready vessels. Our process blends precision welding, detailed rigging, and hands-on craftsmanship to produce boats trusted in some of the harshest environments.
About the Position:
The Marine Installer II is a skilled position focused on rigging and systems integration. This role is responsible for taking fabricated bare hulls and turning them into fully functional, water-ready boats through the installation and setup of electrical, mechanical, and propulsion systems.
This is not an entry-level role—you should be able to step in and immediately contribute to production with minimal supervision. You’ll play a key role in maintaining build quality, troubleshooting issues, and helping move boats efficiently through the rigging process.
What You’ll Do:
• Install and route complete marine wiring harnesses and electrical systems
• Rig outboard motors, controls, steering systems, and accessories
• Install and configure pumps, lighting, electronics, and onboard systems
• Read and interpret work orders, diagrams, and rigging layouts
• Troubleshoot electrical and mechanical issues during installation
• Perform system testing and ensure all components meet quality standards
• Collaborate with fabrication and finishing teams to maintain production flow
What We’re Looking For:
• Strong mechanical and electrical aptitude
• Proven experience in marine rigging, automotive, or similar technical field
• Ability to read wiring diagrams and technical instructions
• High attention to detail with a focus on clean, organized installs
• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
Preferred:
• Marine industry experience (rigging, service, or manufacturing)
• Experience with outboard engines and control systems (Yamaha, Mercury, etc.)
• Familiarity with 12V/24V electrical systems and troubleshooting
• Experience with marine electronics (GPS, sonar, switching systems)
• ABYC standards knowledge or similar best practices
Why Wooldridge:
• Work on premium, purpose-built boats—not production-line assembly
• Opportunity to take ownership of builds and see projects through completion
• Growth into advanced rigging, electrical specialization, or leadership roles
• Tight-knit, skilled team environment
Benefits:
• 7 Paid Holidays
• Paid Vacation and Sick Leave
• 401(k) with 4% match
• Fully paid Health Insurance
• Industry Pro Deals
Schedule:
Monday–Thursday, 6:00 AM – 4:30 PM (4/10 schedule)
Education:
High school diploma or equivalent
Physical Requirements:
• Lift up to 60 lbs
• Frequent bending, kneeling, climbing, and working in confined spaces
• Ability to work on boats in various stages of assembly
• Repetitive motion and full-day physical activity
Screening:
• Pre-employment drug test
• Background check
Work Location:
1303 S. 96th St.
Seattle, WA 98108
