**About Sunseeker International**

Sunseeker International is a global icon in the manufacture of luxury motor yachts, building market leading products since 1967.

Based and manufactured in Poole and Portland on the south coast of England, Sunseeker is one of Dorset’s largest private employers and is represented on every continent by a global distribution network. Never settling for second best, it’s this spirit of excellence that has driven Sunseeker to its leading position in the marine industry today.

**Role overview**:
A career with Sunseeker is a career that will give you more. You’ll learn new skills, make friends for life, and feel an overwhelming sense of pride when each yacht ships for delivery to its new owner.

As a Semi Skilled Boat Builder, you will support the manufacturing of yachts by completing tasks across five trades comprising; Composites, Carpentry, Engineering, Electrical and Plumbing.

You won’t need any prior experience to be considered for this role, because we will teach you all the skills and knowledge you’ll need to become a respected member of a yacht build team. All in a new and dedicated boat building training academy, here in Poole.

**Training overview**:
The 24 month practical training programme will commence with a full time workshop course for 12 weeks. In the safety of a new training workshop, you and your course colleagues will learn practical trade skills and the yacht building theory to underpin your boat building competence. You will learn basic; carpentry skills, electrical installation skills, engineering skills, plumbing skills and, marine composites skills. In addition, we will teach you how to work both effectively and safely in a busy manufacturing environment.

You won't stop there. Once your 12 week intensive workshop course is finished, you'll work with some of the best trades in the marine industry to develop your skills at work, recording evidence of your development for a further 9 months before you become ready for your final assessment at the end of your first year.

On completion of your training, you'll be rewarded with a nationally recognised level 2 engineering qualification and the start of a lifetime opportunity in the marine sector.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to change career. No prior experience is necessary.

**Typical duties include**:

- Place construction setup equipment in the boat such as lighting, extraction and other safety interventions
- Join yacht components using composite bonding methods
- Install shelving to hull structures
- Lay bulkheads to hull structures
- Build wooden carcasses into hull layouts
- Install cabin structures such as; structural flooring, ceiling structures and panels

- Act as a team member in respect of lifting operations
- Maintain workplace cleanliness and organisation & install boat finish protection systems
- Support skilled trades with any other reasonable boat building tasks

**What you’ll need to apply;**
- Grades. We are more interested in your can-do mind-set and commitment to learning a construction trade, than your grades or prior qualifications. You’ll just need to take a very basic Maths and English test at your interview. Those that need development in this area will receive extra tuition.
- The availability to commence employment on the 15 May 2023 with no planned holiday or other absence for the first 12 weeks.
- The ambition to work in a fast paced yacht construction environment (note: this role is not based on the water)
- Some examples of your interest in construction or manufacturing. For example; work experience completed in this field, or personal interests.
- A career history that demonstrates commitment to your previous employers.
- Those that already hold an engineering qualif
