Jouw uitdaging
As a Yacht Production Engineer, you will play a central role in preparing the technical foundation for the construction of high-end luxury yachts. You will ensure that engineering designs are translated into clear, complete, and build-ready production packages.
Working closely with Project Leaders and Draftsmen, you will support the preparation and coordination of hull construction, outfitting, and exterior structures. You will help ensure that all technical documentation is correct, complete, and aligned with the demanding standards of the luxury yacht industry.
This position sits at the intersection of Engineering, Production, and Purchasing. You will help manage the flow of technical information between departments and ensure that materials, planning, and documentation are ready for the construction phase.
Each yacht project is unique, which means you will be exposed to a wide range of technical challenges. It is an ideal role for someone who enjoys coordinating complex engineering projects and contributing to the successful delivery of world-class yachts.
