  • Dependable attendance and ability to work well as part of a team
  • Willingness to learn Blue Core's products, boat models, part numbers, and quality standards

Physical Requirements

  • Ability to stand and work on your feet for the majority of the shift
  • Ability to regularly lift and move marine seating and components
  • Ability to bend, reach, kneel, and perform repetitive assembly tasks
