Shipwright

A Shipwright builds and repairs ships and other maritime vessels. You might construct new vessels or fit out existing ships with cabins, decks, masts and other features. A Shipwright may specialise in a particular type of vessel or you may work in a particular maritime industry.

A Shipwright should have strong technical skills and may have to adapt their abilities to suit the needs of individual customers. It’s important you have strong attention to detail and can work with drawings and specifications. A Shipwright should be able to work as part of a team and communicate well with people from a range of backgrounds.
