What employers look forFrom the Yacht Refit Manager guide
Yards and management companies hire people who have lived through refits from the crew side. Former chief engineers are the most common, followed by captains and chief officers with technical experience. Some come up through shipyard project coordination or naval architecture. What gets you hired is a record of refits delivered and the ability to read a specification, a Gantt chart and a class report with equal confidence. Languages help. Spanish, French, Italian or Dutch will get you further in the yard.
