No matter how modern and automated a shipyard’s engineering facilities are, shipyards are aware of one of their single most important assets…the hardworking men and women who design, build, and do everything else necessary to turn a pile of steel plates and beams into a ship. On the pages that follow, you can see job lists for people who make a shipyard what it is.

Shipyard Jobs
The demand for
commercial vessels of all
kinds should serve as an
index of the industry. It
might not be the roaring
days of launching a Liberty
Ship every eighteen days,
but there is activity. Go see
how much it costs to get
hold of a thirty year old
pushboat with an aging set
of GM8-71’s.
The market for used
vessels is a strong one. Go
shopping for a twin engine
tug suitable for petroleum
transport work in the New
Jersey - New York -
Connecticut corridor…and
make sure you bring a big
checkbook along. This
value of older vessels and
the effort it will take to keep
them at sea is another
factor that should keep
yards busy.

Shipyards are busy with life
extension refits, lengthening
hulls, powerplant refits and
other modernization
projects. This is in addition
to all the contracts for new
vessels such as military
patrol craft, OSV (offshore
supply vessels), barges,
lifeboats, tugboats, ferries,
megayachts, high speed
cats, dinner cruise vessels,
ferries, research vessels
and SWATH vessels.

assembling the keel and bottom plating for a ship in the
time-honored traditional method. It is as historically striking
as photos of marine engineers operating engine room
valving for steam turbine machinery... both technologies
have been left behind, by advancements in modular
shipbuilding techniques and diesel propulsion
engineering. Click Shipyard Salaries to learn about
