No two days are the same, and the role requires a tradesman who can think, diagnose, solve problems and produce excellent work under real-world marine industry conditions.

Fitting, turning, machining and fabrication tasks
Hydraulic systems, stabilisers and lifting equipment
DC electrical and marine plumbing work within your skill set
Diagnosing faults and developing practical repair solutions
Working from drawings, measurements and technical information
Supporting refit and maintenance projects on luxury vessels
Maintaining a clean, professional and safe work environment
Working to deadlines without compromising workmanship
The successful applicant will have:
A recognised trade qualification as a fitter and turner, marine engineer, diesel fitter, mechanical fitter or similar
Strong hands-on experience in marine engineering, mechanical fitting or related trades
Sound knowledge of marine systems, driveline arrangements and vessel repairs
Practical machining experience, ideally including lathe and milling work
Strong diagnostic and problem-solving ability
A professional approach to workmanship, safety and client expectations
The ability to work independently and as part of a team
Good organisation, initiative and attention to detail
The ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines
Their own professional trade tools
Experience with CNC machining, milling, 3D printing, hydraulics, stabilisers, vessel systems or luxury marine refit work will be highly regarded.
We offer:
Excellent remuneration based on skill, experience and value brought to the business
Stable full-time work in a respected marine company
40–45+ hours per week
Half-day Fridays
Varied, interesting and technically challenging work
A steady pipeline of luxury vessel refit and repair projects
A close-knit, experienced and supportive team
A professional workshop environment with investment in modern equipment and technology
The opportunity to grow with a business that is actively expanding its capabilities
We are a generous employer and are prepared to pay very well for a capable, reliable and highly skilled person.
