The company specialises in designing and producing custom and production catamaran and monohull aluminium rig packages, masts, spars, and components. The ideal candidate will have a background in boat building, aluminium, or metal manufacturing and must be able to design from scratch, not just replicate existing designs.

  • Ensure all drawings are accurate, detailed, and compliant with industry standards.

  • Collaborate with design and engineering teams to translate concepts into technical drawings.

  • Maintain a library of drawings and ensure version control.

  • Perform quality checks on drawings to eliminate errors.

  • Liaise with suppliers and manufacturers to ensure accuracy of materials.

  • Support the production team with drawings, specifications, and technical guidance.

  • Assist in developing and improving design and manufacturing processes.

  • Keep up to date with industry trends and new technologies.

Requirements:

  • Minimum of 5 years’ hands-on design experience.

  • Proficiency in AutoCAD and SolidWorks (non-negotiable).

  • Background in boat building, aluminium, or metal manufacturing highly preferred.

  • Intuitive design ability with the capability to design from scratch.

  • Strong mechanical aptitude and understanding of engineering principles.

  • Hands-on experience (e.g. welding, fabrication, boat or mast building) is beneficial.

  • Excellent attention to detail with the ability to produce accurate technical drawings.

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.

  • Commitment to quality, adaptability, and a strong work ethic.

Benefits:

  • Salary: negotiable.
