Toronto Yacht Club is hiring seasonal labourers to shrink wrap boats for winter storage. We have been doing this since 2017 out of three marinas: Krates in Keswick, Grand Harbour in Brechin, and Driftwood Cove in Port Severn, plus mobile work around Toronto.

Shrink wrapping is building a wood frame over a boat, pulling heavy plastic over the frame, and shrinking it tight so it holds up to snow and wind all winter. The season runs from the end of September through January. It is outdoor work in the cold and it moves fast, because every boat has to be covered before the weather turns.

Duties

- Build and install wood framing over boats of all sizes
- Measure and cut lumber to length on site
- Pull, position and heat shrink the plastic over the frame
- Install vents, zipper doors and strapping




- Load and unload materials and keep the work area clear
- Drive between marinas and customer boats in Georgina, Georgian Bay and the Toronto area

Qualifications

- Experience with hand tools. Skill saw, drills, the usual.
- Your own vehicle. This one is not versatile, we move between marinas most days.
- Valid driver's licence.
- Able to work outside in the cold, on ladders, on your feet all day.
- Shrink wrap experience is welcome. If you have not done it before, we will train you.

Pay: From $22.00 per hour

Expected hours: 40.0 per week

Work Location: In person
