Slipways and repair shops provide great opportunities to work outdoors by the water while maintaining and repairing a wide range of boats.

The variety of jobs is huge. You could become a Shipwright, who maintains and services the boats. You could use your Welding or Boilermaking skills to make metal repairs, or work as a Maintenance Engineer repairing and servicing engines. You could be slipping boats and making repairs to boats while they're out of the water - or you could work on boats while they're at their wet berths or moorings.

If you have a practical approach and like fixing things, then a career in Slipways or Repairs may be for you. The skills you learn are transferable into other industries and will be welcome in slipways all around the world!
