Employment Opportunities

General Advice on Jobs
1. Graduates and advanced students looking for work can often get work with us at MacNaughton Yacht Designs.
2. Your best bet may be simply to make a list of your favorite designers and have us help you get work with one of them.
3. If you want to work for a boat building firm instead of an independent design office, try ads in Professional Boatbuilder.
4. Occasionally people approach us to put ads on the site, which are posted below. This is done as a service to our students we are not paid for posting these ads, and we have not investigated or endorsed any of these positions or claims made about them.

12/04/2006 - Joseph Delgado cadcam7@hotmail.com has again asked us to let our CAD Course students know that he is looking for two (2) additional people skilled in the use of Rhino for yacht and small craft design. See his previous ad below for more information.

07/26/2006 - Important message for CAD Course alumni: Contact Joseph Delgado cadcam7@hotmail.com if you are a graduate of the our CAD Course in the use of Rhino for yacht and small craft design, or are otherwise qualified in the Rhino 3D design software. Naturally the most desirable candidates will be graduates of both our CAD Course and the main Yacht Design School curriculum, and the second most desirable would be those CAD Course graduates part way through the main curriculum, but even those who have done substantial work on the CAD Course may be able to get a job as there is a great shortage of Rhino operators for the marine industry. Mr. Delgado is looking for three people to start work immediately. Ideally candidates would be willing to relocate to Louisiana but telecommuting may be possible if your skills are sufficient. The firm he represents will pay well in proportion to your knowledge.

IAG Yachts Ltd., is a newly formed luxury yacht manufacturing company located in Shenzhen China, close to Hong Kong. We are a division of the International Audio Group with offices, sales and manufacturing concerns in six countries world wide. Please visit our website at www.internationalaudiogroup.com

We immediately require a certified Yacht Designer willing and able to relocate on a permanent basis to China. We are willing to consider a relative new comer already employed in the yacht design industry, or an exceptional recent graduate possessing the ability to design a new FRP tri-deck motor yacht about 130' L.O.A. Later designs will include a 50 meter motoryacht in steel and aluminum.

This is an exiting and solid career opportunity for the right person. The candidate will be able to produce drawings, 2D and 3D CAD work that will be drawn to industry standard, presented to and approved by the Classification Societies (eg., Lloyds). He or she will be well versed and competent in all aspects of Naval Architecture and Yacht Styling, and will be supported by a team of marine engineers and lesser skilled CAD draughts people under the direct supervision of the General Manager. That support team will produce detailed and bilingual shop drawings and CNC Nesting files generated from the candidates original work, later to be submitted to the shipyard, for construction. Please forward the candidates' resume, recommendations and contact information at your earliest convenience to the email address below.

Best Regards
