Sunseeker founders dreamt of building a new kind of yacht. Breaking boundaries in early design, weve revolutionised the motor yacht industry since our conception in 1967. We've always set our sights on the top of the ladder, using our passion and drive to trailblaze with innovation and energy.

Expert minds and extraordinary attention to detail. Passed from generation to generation, these are the most valuable skills required to make our operation succeed. In an era of digital production and automated assembly, we stay committed to creating hand-built, hand-finished motoryachts, supported by Dorset's most innovative commercial minds.

- Providing technical expertise to the Procurement team where required for strategic purchasing and contract negotiation activities;
- Identifying and eradicating pricing issues within allocated alpha code areas, working with the BOM Controlling, Finance and Purchasing teams to increase master data accuracy;
- Supporting 'customer special'/bespoke projects;
