£35,000 - £40,000 + Benefits

Full Time | Permanent

Are you a hands-on manager who enjoys variety, thrives in an operational environment, and takes pride in delivering excellent customer service?

We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established family run marina in St Neots for an experienced Marina Manager to oversee the day-to-day operation of a busy and welcoming waterside facility. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys balancing practical, hands-on work with leadership, administration, and customer engagement.

No two days are the same in this role. From coordinating boat movements and managing marina facilities to supporting boat sales and leading a small team, you'll play a pivotal role in ensuring the marina operates safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards.

The Role

As a General Manager, you'll take ownership of the marina's daily operations while acting as the main point of contact for berth holders, visitors, contractors, and suppliers. You'll combine operational oversight with a proactive, hands-on approach to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing berth allocations, moorings, visitor bookings and occupancy records.
• Coordinating boat arrivals, departures and marina services.
• Ensuring the marina, buildings and facilities are clean, safe and well maintained.
• Overseeing fuel, utilities, waste disposal and marina security systems.
• Supporting the brokerage of boats, including preparing listings, photography and assisting with negotiations.
• Managing customer accounts, contracts, invoicing and supplier payments.
• Liaising with finance teams regarding payroll and VAT administration.
• Coordinating contractors and maintenance works across the site.
• Leading and supporting marina staff while maintaining effective communication with the wider leadership team.
• Ensuring compliance with health & safety legislation and carrying out routine safety inspections.

We're looking for someone who is organised, approachable and confident managing a varied workload. You'll enjoy working with people, solving problems and being actively involved in the day-to-day running of the marina.

You'll ideally have:

• Previous experience in an operations, facilities, property or marina management role.
• Strong organisational and administrative skills.
• Excellent customer service and communication abilities.
• Good IT skills and experience maintaining accurate records.
• A practical, hands-on approach with the ability to resolve operational issues.
• Basic bookkeeping or financial administration experience.
• The ability to work independently and prioritise effectively.

Experience within the marine or leisure industry would be highly advantageous, as would previous experience supervising staff or managing contractors.

Full-time, 37.5 hours per week.

Five days per week, Monday to Saturday (rota basis).

Flexibility to support occasional weekends, bank holidays or emergency call-outs when required.

Salary & Benefits

£35,000 - £40,000 per annum (dependent on experience).

Permanent, full-time opportunity.

Supportive working environment.

Varied and rewarding role in a unique waterside setting.
