Job description

Are you looking to build a career in the marine industry? Do you enjoy variety, responsibility, and working as part of a dedicated team? If so, this could be the perfect role for you.

Premier Marinas is seeking a Marina Operative to join our friendly and professional team at the beautiful Chichester Marina. This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a stunning environment where no two days are the same. With full training provided, you’ll develop valuable new skills while helping us deliver the exceptional customer experience we're known for.

This is a hands‑on, customer-facing role involving a range of duties across the marina. You’ll work as part of a rota, which will include some weekends, evenings, bank holidays, and occasional night shifts.

What we’re looking for

We’d love to hear from you if you are:

• Friendly, customer‑focused, and confident communicating with a wide range of people
• Positive, enthusiastic, and happy to work as part of a team
• Comfortable working both indoors and outdoors in a busy marine environment
• Reliable, adaptable, and keen to learn new skills
• Able to remain calm and professional under pressure
• Flexible with working hours, including evenings, weekends, and nights when required
• In possession of a full UK driving licence
• Boating or marina experience is an advantage—but not essential, as full training will be provided

Experience in a similar role is helpful but not essential. Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who is eager to learn and grow with us.
