A new Marina needs a Manager; City on the search for Cow Bay Marina boss

They may still be putting the finishing touches on the new Cow Bay Marina and the project itself may be a little behind the original opening date, but with the finish line in sight, the City of Prince Rupert is now in the market for Manager for the facility.

The job opportunity for the Cow Bay Marina Manager was posted to the City's website on Thursday, a supervisory position which will provide for management services and operation of the Marina and its facilities.

Offering a competitive salary and benefit package, the successful candidate will report to the City Manager and will be expected to oversee a number of day to day operation matters from administration to sales and human resources to name a few. 

When it comes to qualifications for the job, the City is looking for candidates that will have a diploma with an emphasis on  Recreation and Leisure, Business Administration, Public Relations or a related field.

Also noted on the Job Notice is the advisory that candidates with direct Marine Experience will be given preference.

The deadline for Applications is Friday October 9th at 4:30 PM.

The full listing of requirements can be examined here.

The City has yet to announce how large a staff will be required for Marina operations, or when they anticipate offering those positions to the public.
