Field Service Manager

What You Own Aftermarket revenue and margin – Carry an annual service and parts revenue target, and a gross margin target, reported separately from boat margin

– Sell and renew service agreements across the installed base, including boats delivered before the current ownership structure, and grow the attachment rate

– Quote and close service, upgrade, and refit work using the existing rate card and parts pricing

– Track technician utilisation and billable hours, and manage capacity against demand

Field service delivery – Plan and dispatch technicians for commissioning, warranty work, scheduled service, and emergency callouts

– Act as escalation point across the whole boat: propulsion, batteries and BMS, charging, steering and controls, hull and deck systems, electronics and infotainment

– Own first-time fix rate, mean time to repair, and response time, and report them monthly

– Coordinate with production and sales on handover and delivery of new boats

Warranty and quality feedback – Decision authority on warranty claims sits with this role and is not delegated to sales

– Pursue supplier cost recovery on component failures

– Feed field failure data to R&D on a fixed cadence, with root cause analysis on recurring faults
