Boat Builder

A Boat Builder constructs and repairs boats and other maritime vessels. You might build vessels according to owner requirements or make repairs or adjustments to existing boats. Boat Builders may also fit out the interior of vessels or specialise in a particular area of boat building such as decks or masts.

Boat Builders require excellent technical skills and should be able to use their abilities to meet the individual needs of their clients. It’s important you can work with drawings and specifications and must be able to manage their time well. Boat Builders should have good attention to detail and excellent problem solving skills.
