About Sunseeker International

Sunseeker was founded on a bold vision: to create a new kind of yacht and redefine what was possible on the water. From our earliest designs in 1967, we've pushed boundaries and reshaped the motor yacht industry through innovation, craftsmanship and relentless ambition.

At the heart of every Sunseeker lies a legacy of expert hands and meticulous attention to detail, skills refined and passed down through generations. These are the qualities that set our yachts apart - and the qualities that continue to drive our craft today.

In a world increasingly defined by automation, we remain committed to building hand-crafted, hand-finished boats. With over 1,800 talented team members across our busy shipyards - from long-serving specialists to more than 180 apprentices - our Sunseeker workforce reflects the strength, diversity and pride of our local community. It's this blend of heritage, skill and passion that makes our shipyards unlike any other place in the world.

• Collaborating with designers, engineers, project managers, sales and marketing teams.

• Hold a degree in Design, Visualisation, Computer Graphics, Animation, Engineering or a related discipline.
• Have extensive experience within 3D visualisation, rendering, animation or a similar field.
• Demonstrate advanced proficiency in software such as 3ds Max, Blender, V-Ray and Corona.
• Possess modelling experience, ideally using Siemens NX and AutoCAD 2D.
• Have a strong understanding of modelling, texturing, lighting, composition and rendering principles.
• Be capable of managing multiple projects and competing priorities within a fast-paced environment.
• Be a creative and detail-oriented professional with a passion for innovation.
• Demonstrate strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
