Marine Operations Supervisor

Do you love spending time on the water? Would you like to work with a team as passionate about the outdoors as you are?

Vermont State Parks is seeking a diversely qualified and dynamic person to fill a year-round, fast-paced position directly overseeing the operations and supervision of four state park locations in northwestern Vermont, the 100 slip Burton Island Marina, and the Island Runner Passenger Ferry. Through collaboration with a dedicated maintenance and regional management team, this role would assist with hiring and supervising a seasonal work force, leading and creating trainings, analyzing and supporting maintenance and operations, providing recommendations on facility and marine fleet planning, and participating in high level policy development. A track record of clear written and verbal communication is essential for this position. Work is often independent and field-based. This position is eligible for a flexible work schedule and significant telework in the winter months, though frequent site visits and in-person staff collaboration are the expectation during the park operating season. Substantial daily travel is necessary; a work vehicle is provided for official business. Vermont State Parks strives to be the employer of choice in Vermont’s recreation industry and works to create and maintain a welcoming safe and inclusive workplace for all. The position also requires possession of a 50 ton, inland master license (MMC endorsement), or the ability (i.e. sufficient sea time in hand) to obtain such a license within 180 days of hire.

Preference will be given to the candidates that demonstrate extensive understanding of maritime and marina operations; marketing and outreach; experience in local, state or national park operations and management; customer service; employee supervision, coaching, mediation, and evaluation of a seasonal workforce in a decentralized environment; and designing and implementing training programs for a seasonal workforce.
