Marine Hull Structures Fitter

Your day shaping seaworthy structures

Picture starting your shift with a blueprint in hand. You study drawings and layouts, plan your approach, and translate those lines into precisely fitted hull components. You’ll mark out and measure, then cut, fit, and align steel plates, stiffeners, and bulkheads so every joint lands exactly where it should. You’ll stage materials for welding, use cutting torches and grinders with care, and double-check dimensions and alignment before the welders lock it all in. Throughout the day, you’ll coordinate closely with welders and other crafts while following shipyard safety procedures.
