Ship and Boat Building

Ship and boat building employers construct and assemble vessels such as small boats through to larger ships, along with related components like hulls and decks. Jobs often include ship fitters, welders, carpenters/cabinetmakers for marine interiors, electricians, and production or quality inspection roles. Work is typically hands-on in shipyards or fabrication shops, with physically demanding tasks and frequent use of safety gear; some positions may require welding certifications.
