Production Support Engineer – Kaag
Introduction
As a Production Support Engineer Special at Royal Van Lent on the Kaag, you are the link between the drawing and the shop floor on one-off superyachts. A role for the hands-on engineer who likes to be where the yacht is actually being built.
Function
You own a specific scope and keep it moving from engineering to a buildable result, staying close to production throughout. You:
- work out detailed engineering designs, 3D models, and technical drawings for your scope;
- make sure the design is feasible and can actually be manufactured and assembled on board;
- keep your work within Class and Flag regulations and the project’s own specifications;
spot technical bottlenecks early and come up with workable solutions; - act as the linking pin between production and engineering, translating between drawings and the shop floor;
- align with senior engineers, production, and project leads so the work lands on time and at the right quality.
Organization
Royal Van Lent, part of Feadship, builds one-off superyachts at the highest level. On the Kaag, where the yard has been based since 1849, it engineers and completes superyachts of 70 to 100 metres — each one fully custom built and delivered as a single project. Building these one-off yachts is an intricate undertaking, where engineering and craftsmanship come together under uncompromising quality standards.
