Fleet Maintenance Manager

Build Something Exceptional!!

Not everyone is built to run an operation.

Some people see a truck, trailer, or piece of equipment that's broken and fix today's problem.

Others see the entire operation, identify the root of the issue, improve the process, and make changes to ensure the problem doesn’t happen twice. We're looking for the second person! About Palmetto Yacht Management:
Palmetto Yacht Management has become one of the nation's premier yacht transportation companies by refusing to accept "good enough." Our trucks, trailers, technology, people, and customer experience are continuously evolving—and we're looking for someone who shares that same mindset.

If you take pride in building organized, efficient operations, enjoy solving problems before they happen, and want the freedom to improve an already successful company, we'd like to hear from you! Why Palmetto Yacht Management:
We ARE NOT a Corporate Bureaucracy. We are an entrepreneurial company that believes good ideas can come from anyone. We invest heavily in technology, equipment, and our people because we believe excellence isn't an accident. If you've ever wished you could walk into an operation and help build it the right way instead of inheriting years of poor decisions, this is your opportunity.

You'll have the support, resources, trust, and backing to make a lasting impact with an industry leader in high value yacht transportation.
