A Thomas Marine Fabricator/Welder will construct, install, and repair metal yacht structures and components out of stainless steel (often polished to #8) or aluminum.

• Multitask, be highly organized and be able to reasonably interface with a boat owner/captain/engineer
• Have reliable transportation and have a driver license
• Comprehension skills to follow safety regulations, instruction and interpreting fabrication drawings
• Verbal communication, social and interpersonal skills, ability to speak English
• Ability to follow directions from yacht owners
• Understanding of Fabrication / Installation drawings

Standing for extending periods of time is common, as is welding outdoors on a yacht

Valid driver's license and be commercially insurable!

Have pride in their work & get along with others (this is important to all of our crew)
