Senior Engineer Special Engineering / Exterior
Do you have experience designing and coordinating complex exterior systems on luxury vessels? Join a high-end yacht builder as a Senior Engineer Special/Exterior and take ownership of technically unique and visible parts of world-class yachts.
At our client, the discipline Special Engineering and Exterior Engineering covers two closely linked but distinct areas:
- Special Engineering focuses on custom-built, often movable systems that make each yacht unique. This includes elements such as telescopic masts, boarding equipment, shell doors, tender cranes, and folding platforms, all tailor-engineered for functionality and design integration.
- Exterior Engineering relates to the visible and structural outfitting on the outside of the yacht, such as railings, stairs, bollards, lighting, nameplates, flagpoles, and deck furniture. It requires coordination with design, interior, and outfitting teams to ensure seamless integration and aesthetic perfection.
