Are you hands-on, skilled in structural maintenance, and looking for a role that's truly unique?
Join our Operational Services / Maritime and Technical Services team and help keep the Port of Ramsgate and Royal Harbour in top shape. As a Berth Maintenance Fitter, you'll be at the heart of our marine engineering operations-maintaining vital infrastructure like berths, pontoons, linkspans, walkways, and more.
This is no ordinary job. You'll work in a dynamic, outdoor environment-sometimes in challenging weather-on essential coastal assets that serve our community and beyond.

* Liaise with contractors and oversee third-party works on-site
* Assist during emergency out-of-hours incidents affecting port infrastructure
* Maintain accurate inspection records and report any faults

* Experience with structural maintenance and marine infrastructure (e.g. berths, mooring spines)
* Skilled in welding (MIG, TIG, or Gas) and steel fabrication
* Ability to work both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
* Willingness to work flexible hours (tidal windows/emergencies)
* NVQ Level 3 in Maintenance and Repair or equivalent
* Lloyds or ASMI structural welding certification
* Experience with lift trucks (B1/B2), MEWPs (3B), and marine craft
* Additional safety and marine qualifications (e.g. Abrasive Wheels, Slinging/Banksman, Sea Survival)
* A varied, challenging, and high-impact role in a unique coastal setting
* Work on live maritime infrastructure-no two days are the same
* Collaborate with a dedicated and skilled technical team
* Enjoy competitive hourly pay
Be prepared for outdoor, hands-on work in a marine and construction site environment-including during winter months. Occasional emergency response required.
