Maintenance Volunteers to repair and service boats on Forth & Clyde Canal

• Forth & Clyde Canal Society

• VO102341

Come join our team of maintenance volunteers who work tirelessly to keep our boats in good working order to enable the Society to offer Charters and participate in events on the Forth & Clyde Canal.

We are based mainly in and around Kirkintilloch and would love it if you have electrical or marine engineering experience or even if you are just passionate about learning the ins and outs of the engine room on all of our 3 of our boats (Cruiser stern wide beam boat, Single Screw Motor Vessel and a replica of a Clyde puffer boat) .

We also need the boats to be scraped and painted and the car parking area maintained.

If you are interested please click the ‘Apply’ button below (available when logged in and registered). You will then be contacted by one of the team by email or phone call. If you have not heard back after 5 working days, the first step is to contact the organisation with the contact details provided. You could also check your junk/spam folder on your emails just in case the response is there. If that doesn’t work out then please feel free to contact Volunteer Glasgow at info@volunteerglasgow.org.
