Ship Building and Repairing

Ship building and repairing employers construct new vessels and perform maintenance, inspections, and repairs on ships and boats. Job seekers may find roles such as welders, pipefitters, electricians, marine machinists, riggers, ship fitters, and quality or inspection support. Work is typically hands-on in shipyards or dry docks, often with physically demanding tasks and safety-focused environments; some positions may require trade training, certifications, or prior welding and fabrication experience.
