ABOUT GRAND HARBOUR MARINA

Grand   Harbour Marina is a premier waterfront destination located in Lagoon City,   Brechin, Ontario — on the beautiful east shore of Lake Simcoe. Under new   ownership and management, we are transforming this iconic marina into a   destination defined by elevated service, immaculate facilities, and a genuine   commitment to excellence in every corner of the property.

A   marina of this calibre runs on the skill, reliability, and craftsmanship of   the people who maintain it. We are looking for a talented, multi-skilled   Marina Handyman who takes real pride in their trade and wants to be part of   building something exceptional on the water.

THE ROLE

As   Marina Handyman at Grand Harbour Marina, you will be responsible for the   day-to-day repair, maintenance, and upkeep of our full property — from marine   infrastructure and dock systems to buildings, mechanical systems, and   grounds. This is a broad, hands-on role that draws on a wide range of trades   knowledge and demands someone who can diagnose a problem, source a solution,   and execute the work to a professional standard.

No two   days will look the same. One morning you may be repairing a dock electrical   pedestal; the afternoon could bring a plumbing fix in the washroom block, a   carpentry repair on the dock boardwalk, or a paint job on the harbour   building. If you thrive on variety, take pride in quality workmanship, and   want to be the person a premium marina relies on to keep everything running   at its best — this is your role.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Plumbing

• Perform repairs and   maintenance on all marina plumbing systems including supply lines, drain   lines, fixtures, faucets, toilets, shower systems, and water connections

• Diagnose and repair   leaks, blockages, pressure issues, and fixture failures across all marina   buildings and washroom facilities

• Maintain and service   marina water supply infrastructure including seasonal winterization and   spring recommissioning of all water systems

• Install and replace   plumbing fixtures, valves, hose bibs, and waterside utility connections as   required

• Coordinate with licensed   contractors for work requiring permits or licensed trades oversight, and   assist as directed

• Maintain and service dock   water pedestals, supply lines, and marina-side potable water connections   throughout the season

Carpentry &   Structural Repairs

• Perform carpentry repairs   and fabrication across all marina structures including dock boards, dock   frames, walkways, boardwalks, railings, gates, and fencing

• Repair and replace   damaged or deteriorated wood, composite decking, trim, framing, and   structural elements on buildings and docks

• Perform interior   carpentry including door and window repairs, casing and trim work, shelving,   and general joinery within marina buildings

• Assist with the   construction or modification of small structures, storage facilities, signage   mounts, and property improvements as directed

• Apply caulking, sealants,   and weatherproofing to buildings, dock structures, and exterior woodwork to   maintain weathertight conditions

• Sand, prep, prime, and   paint interior and exterior surfaces across all marina buildings, structures,   and dock infrastructure

Electrical

• Perform basic electrical   maintenance and troubleshooting across marina buildings, common areas, and   dock infrastructure

• Replace and repair light   fixtures, outlets, switches, cover plates, and bulbs across all marina   facilities

• Inspect and maintain dock   electrical pedestals, power connections, and shore power infrastructure —   identifying faults and coordinating licensed electrical repairs as required

• Maintain exterior and   dock lighting systems, including seasonal setup, bulb replacement, and   fixture repairs

• Identify and report any   electrical deficiencies, safety hazards, or code concerns to management and   coordinate remediation with licensed electricians as required

• All electrical work   requiring a licensed electrician will be referred appropriately — this role   is responsible for maintenance-level tasks and first-line diagnosis

General Maintenance   & Property Upkeep

• Maintain and service HVAC   filters, ventilation systems, water heaters, and basic mechanical equipment   across marina facilities

• Repair and maintain door   hardware, locks, hinges, closers, and access control systems across the   property

• Perform painting,   staining, and surface preparation on buildings, docks, fences, and exterior   structures as directed

• Assist with the   maintenance and minor repair of marina vehicles, carts, trailers, and   equipment as required

• Operate pressure washers,   compressors, generators, and other power tools safely and in accordance with   manufacturer specifications

Dock & Marine   Infrastructure

• Assist the Marina   Maintenance Specialist with marine infrastructure repairs including dock   boards, hardware, cleats, bumpers, gangways, and dock frames

• Perform seasonal dock   commissioning and decommissioning tasks including the installation, removal,   adjustment, and storage of dock components

• Maintain dock hardware   including bolts, fasteners, dock lines, fender brackets, and tie-off points   in good working condition

• Identify structural dock   issues and communicate findings to management with recommended remediation

Grounds & Exterior

• Assist with grounds   maintenance tasks including exterior repairs, fence maintenance, signage, and   general property upkeep

• Keep maintenance work   areas, tool storage, and workshop spaces clean, organized, and safely   maintained at all times

• Manage and maintain an   inventory of tools, materials, and supplies — tracking usage and   communicating replenishment needs to management

• Complete maintenance   logs, work orders, and service records accurately for all tasks performed

• Respond promptly to   urgent maintenance calls, facility failures, or safety concerns during   assigned shift hours
