The Boating Industry Association (BIA) is proud to be hosting its first RQYS presentation during the Get Onboard Boat Expo – Summer Edition to discuss all things “Marine Jobs”.

In this panel presentation, you’ll hear the stories of how four successful Australians have turned their love of boating into a career.   They will share their journeys from start until now, discuss any qualifications they obtained along the way and why and delve into a typical day in their role.

People often forget about the hundreds of roles available in the marine industry, and BIA is here to show you how you can avoid a desk job and spend your days by the water.  Hosted by BIA CEO Andrew Fielding, you’ll meet:

Brett Bolton – Director Manly Marine Services and Freedom Boat Club

Karen Baldwin – CEO of Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron

Steph Mannering – BIA Apprentice of the Year at Cruise Craft

Lee Randall – Sailmaker, Consultant and Podcaster at Bulwarks and Bulldust

Glen Scott – Marina Manager at Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron

All our guests have chosen careers in the Marine industry and followed their love of water and boating to spend their lives by the ocean.  Join us at this free presentation in the RQYS Auditorium and be inspired to use your skills in this exciting and growing industry.
