Once the hull of a boat has been built, it is finished by the Fitout crew. Working with a variety of materials and construction techniques, you will construct, assemble and install the interior and above-deck components needed before a boat can be taken out on the water.

You could also work in Refit, where boats are brought in for internal refurbishments, maintenance or improvements. Refitting boats includes jobs like overhauling, detailing, polishing, engine and transmission maintenance - and even boat plumbing and electrics.

You will learn to work with materials such as fibreglass, timber and composites. Using a variety of tools and machinery, you'll work in timber joinery, surface finishing and dressing.

If you love boats, and like practical, 'hands on' work and seeing the results in a finished product, then this could be an exciting career path for you.
