OXE Marine Inc. is seeking an experienced and driven Technical Area Manager (TAM) to support our growing customer base across the United States. This is a field-facing, hands-on role for a genuine marine enthusiast who is equally comfortable diagnosing a diesel outboard at a marina and presenting technical findings in a corporate setting.

This role requires regular domestic travel and occasional international travel to support installations, service calls, and dealer development. A successful candidate will have the attitude of getting the job done all the way, with responsibility to the end and ensuring a positive customer service experience for end users.
