  • Understanding of scheduling and the ability to adhere to strict deadlines.
  • Working knowledge of shipyard disciplines related to structural design and construction (hull structure, arrangements, producibility, manufacturing).
  • Experience or academic exposure to marine engineering or shipbuilding (e.g., co‑op placements, coursework).
