[SIZE=16.5pt]As a Naval Architect, you won’t just be involved in the design of vessels but will be able to get involved with aspects of manufacture through to launch, test and commissioning.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]Naval Architecture is a whole boat engineering discipline. This means that as a Naval Architect you'll not only be involved in the design of vessels, but also all aspects of manufacture right through to launch, test and commission. In the case of our businesses, you'll work to ensure that our surface ships and submarines do what they should do. A large part of the work involves computer based design. However, you'll also get extensively involved in other activities too – such as computer simulation modelling and physical model tank testing. Welcome to Naval Architecture in the real world.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt] What you’ll need[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]To succeed in this area, you’ll need a minimum 2:1 Bachelor's degree in Naval Architecture for our graduate scheme or on course for achieving a 2:1 for our undergraduate schemes. In addition, you need to be eligible to work in the UK and be able to successfully achieve security clearance. In terms of personal qualities, you’ll also need strong organisational ability and excellent communication skills. You’ll know how to collaborate effectively with a wide range of internal and external customers. As a company committed to talent, we welcome applications from a diverse range of people, from all backgrounds and with many different skills, experience and perspectives.[/SIZE]

Working closely with the Dock masters, the Naval Architects produce docking preparation drawings prior to all dockings in the Naval Base and calculate docking conditions.
