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

– 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

– Maintain and extend service documentation, fault trees, and safety procedures
