Job description

Are You Ready to Own Complex Shipboard Power?

Do line diagrams make sense at a glance? Can you trace a 480V three-phase fault to a failing controller before the multimeter confirms it? At Everett Ship Repair—founded in 2019 and rapidly growing in Everett, WA—you’ll apply your journeyman-level craft on commercial workboats and passenger vessels. We repair, maintain, and convert ships with the capacity and ambition of a premier Pacific Northwest yard, and we’re advancing fast alongside our experienced team and strong dry‑docking capability.

Imagine This

You’re called to a medium-sized passenger vessel. The propulsion control alarms intermittently. You pull the schematic, verify voltage and resistance through the circuit, inspect trays and hangers you helped lay out, and isolate a control signal issue. By day’s end, the propulsion is stable, lights are commissioned, and steering controls are validated—ready for sea trials.

Your Core Impact

• Translate drawings, blueprints, schematics, and electrical code/specs into accurate layouts and installations.
• Install shipboard wiring, receptacles, switch boxes, feeders, coax assemblies, lighting, and related hardware.
• Lay out wireways, set cable trays, and place initial hangers.
• Test components and systems for continuity, current, voltage, and resistance.
• Service/install motors, generators, industrial storage batteries, and controls supporting hydraulic/pneumatic systems.
• Maintain/repair electrical controls tied to main propulsion systems.
• Install and verify electrohydraulic steering control functionality.
• Install and calibrate industrial instrumentation when required.
• Diagnose, maintain, and repair marine electrical and electromechanical systems using sound technical principles.
• Complete electrical fitting work: stud runs, cableways, controller mounts, and associated mounting hardware.
• Operate confidently on 480V three-phase power.
• Work as a collaborative teammate—adapt, interpret, and problem-solve efficiently.
• Take on additional related duties as assigned.

Can You Check These Boxes?

• Read specs and blueprints; align work to contract requirements and schedules.
• Understand shipyard safety, vessel terminology; experienced with scissor and boom lifts.
• Comfortable in confined spaces and variable indoor/outdoor weather conditions.
• Solid basic math skills.
• High school diploma or equivalent.
• 3+ years as a General Maintenance Worker (or similar) with marine electrical maintenance/repair exposure.
• 2–3 years working directly with electrical systems.
• Valid WA State driver’s license.

Make Your Application Stand Out

• Marine Electrician experience
• WA 01 Journeyman Electrical Card (industrial experience)
• Working knowledge of applicable NAVSEA Standard Items
• OSHA 10 certification
• NFPA 70E training
• Understanding of IEEE 45 and relevant CFR installation requirements
• Forklift and manlift certifications and experience
• Interest and aptitude for future crew leadership roles

Technical Strengths We Value

• Electrical schematic reading and interpretation
• 120/208/240/480 V power distribution
• Electrical installation, troubleshooting, diagnostics, and repair
• Electrical/electronic systems, plus heavy equipment systems diagnostics
• IEEE 45 and NFPA 70E

What You’ll Receive

• 401(k) with company match
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits
• Health Savings Account
• Group life insurance with optional supplemental life and disability
• Paid time off and 9 paid holidays
• Employee Assistance Program
• State-certified apprenticeship programs and a culture of learning
