Pay: $105,000.00 - $145,000.00 per year
Job Overview:
We're looking for a hands-on Marine Engineer to lead projects from concept through fabrication, technical documentation, government submittals, and final delivery. This role splits time between the engineering office and the boat shop — you'll need to understand marine construction, work independently, and keep complex projects moving. Experience with USCG requirements, U.S. Government contracts, Technical Data Packages, and Master Equipment Lists is a strong plus.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop, review, and manage engineering designs for new-construction aluminum boats, creating 3D models, assemblies, and production drawings in Rhino and/or Solid Works. Review designs for accuracy, constructability, and compliance, working directly with fabrication and production teams to resolve engineering and construction issues. Manage project schedules, milestones, and priorities, coordinating engineers, designers, fabricators, vendors, and government representatives. Develop, maintain, and manage Technical Data Packages (TDPs) for vessel projects. Maintain configuration control, document control, revision history, and traceability of engineering and contract deliverables. Prepare, organize, track, and submit technical data packages and required documentation to government customers and contracting agencies. Manage government submittals, including drawing packages, engineering documentation, specifications, revisions, and supporting technical information. Develop and maintain the Master Equipment List (MEL), coordinating equipment data across engineering, purchasing, production, and vendors. Support compliance with U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Government, and contract-specific requirements throughout design and construction.
Requirements:
Professional experience in marine engineering, naval architecture, boat design, or marine construction, ideally with new-construction (aluminum) vessels. Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling, preferably Rhino and/or Solid Works. Strong project-management, organizational, and technical documentation skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines. Management or team-leadership experience, with excellent communication and problem-solving abilities. Comfortable working independently in a self-directed, active boat-building/shop environment. USCG design/inspection/compliance experience, U.S. Government contract experience, TDP or MEL management, and/or a PE license are a strong plus.
