We are recruiting two Multi‑Skilled Operatives for our Charlton and Gravesend sites. The role is vital to the day‑to‑day running of Cory Ship Repair Services, supporting both our own fleet and third‑party customers. You will perform a mix of manual work, machinery operation, and assistance with repairs and maintenance, helping keep vessels and equipment safe, compliant, and operational.
Key duties involve operating plant and machinery such as cranes, forklifts and cherry pickers, preparing and painting vessels, and assisting welders and mechanical fitters with repairs. You will also take part in emergency repairs and salvage work while maintaining compliance with safety and environmental legislation. The position is based at either Charlton or Gravesend, with occasional travel to the other site when workload demands.
We seek candidates who understand the importance of safety and compliance, with essential awareness of working at height and in confined spaces, and knowledge of health, safety, environment and quality standards. Familiarity with regulations such as COSHH, LOLER and PUWER is a strong advantage.
Flexibility is key – the role may involve working outside normal hours and at different Cory locations. A valid driving licence is required. Desirable experience includes waste‑management handling of waste oils or hazardous materials, marine licensing, and a background in ship repair. Basic IT skills, particularly with Office 365, are also beneficial.
