Job Description

A position has opened up within the Engineering team at Vitters Shipyard for a senior systems engineer working 38 hours per week.

What exactly will you be doing?

Imagine working at Vitters, where every day you can help build a yacht that’s designed entirely to the client’s specifications, and where every project presents new challenges. Does that sound good? Then become our new senior systems engineer!

As a systems engineer, you’ll work on the project team, which also includes a project leader, an engineering project manager, a production manager, and (lead) engineers. Each project team is involved in and/or responsible for a single project, from Sales to Service. The yachts are designed entirely to meet specific customer requirements, which means that every project presents its own unique challenges.

As a systems engineer, you are responsible for designing, integrating, and optimizing the technical systems of our custom-built superyachts. The position requires a broad and in-depth technical foundation, combined with the ability to assess systems holistically and ensure they function cohesively.

Your responsibilities will include, among other things:
Support the project team in carrying out and coordinating drafting and technical design work for systems.
The development and design, based on the construction specifications and design information, of system diagrams, engine room and technical space layouts, the power generation system, and the propulsion system.
Specifying the equipment to be installed and creating drawings so that Purchasing can place orders and Production can carry out the installation
During construction, you’ll assist the production team with the installation of components to help ensure a high-quality final product.
To do this, you’ll collaborate with project teams, subcontractors, suppliers, and, of course, your colleagues. You’ll share information and offer advice in a friendly and effective manner.

Your Profile

A completed bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, AOT, or Marine Engineering
You have extensive work experience, preferably in a similar position.
You have broad, proven knowledge of various shipboard systems. In addition, you preferably have an interest in electrical engineering.
Vitters is an international company; that’s why you need strong spoken and written English skills.

Personal Characteristics

You have a positive attitude, are proactive, and have strong communication skills. You can work independently, but are also able to actively contribute as part of a team.
