ABOUT GRAND HARBOUR MARINA

Grand Harbour Marina is a premier waterfront destination located in Lagoon City, Brechin, Ontario on the beautiful east shore of Lake Simcoe. Under new ownership and management, we are transforming this iconic marina into a destination defined by elevated service, immaculate facilities, and a genuine commitment to excellence in every corner of the property.

A marina of this calibre runs on the skill, reliability, and craftsmanship of the people who maintain it. We are looking for a talented, multi-skilled Marina Handyman who takes real pride in their trade and wants to be part of building something exceptional on the water.

THE ROLE

No two days will look the same. One morning you may be repairing a dock electrical pedestal; the afternoon could bring a plumbing fix in the washroom block, a carpentry repair on the dock boardwalk, or a paint job on the harbour building. If you thrive on variety, take pride in quality workmanship, and want to be the person a premium marina relies on to keep everything running at its best this is your role.
