Job description

Introductie

As an Engineer Special Exterior at Royal Van Lent, you engineer the visible exterior elements of a superyacht — the parts that define how a yacht looks and feels. A role for the detail-driven engineer who wants to see their own work on the finished product.

Functie

You own a specific exterior scope and take it from design intent to a fully documented, buildable solution. Your work sits where engineering, design, and finish come together, which means precision matters in everything you deliver. You:

• work out detailed engineering designs, 3D models, and technical drawings for your scope;
• make sure your design is feasible and can actually be manufactured and assembled on board;
• keep your work within Class and Flag regulations and the project's own specifications; spot technical bottlenecks early and come up with workable solutions;
• align with senior engineers, production, and project leads so the work lands on time and at the right quality.

Organisatie

Royal Van Lent, part of Feadship, builds one-off superyachts at the highest level. In 2019 the yard opened its ultramodern dock hall in the western harbour area of Amsterdam, with room for yachts up to 160 metres. Besides newbuild, the yard also handles refits. Every yacht is a single, custom project built over an average of four years — a place where engineering and craftsmanship come together under uncompromising quality standards.

Functie-eisen

• A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Naval Engineering, Maritime Technology, or a related field.
• 2–5 years of work experience in engineering in shipbuilding.
• Working knowledge of 3D AutoCAD, and preferably Siemens NX, Teamcenter, and Cadmatic.
• Good command of English, spoken and written.
• Knowledge of shipbuilding production and the construction process.
• Accurate by nature, with a high standard for quality and results.

Aanbod

• You are paid according to the same terms of employment as a permanent Royal Van Lent employee. As this is a placement, the client's collective labour agreement (cao) applies to you in full — equal pay is required by Dutch law (inlenersbeloning), so you earn what someone in this position at Royal Van Lent earns.
• The max of this scale is 78.000 gross per year.
• A technically advanced and stable working environment where you work on the most exclusive yachts in the world.
• A role where your engineering is literally visible in the finished yacht.
