– Design and engineering of foils and foiling systems, including hull modification.

– Devising composite systems, specifying material usage, layup schedules and weight estimations.

You’ll be working on a host of exciting projects from small luxury and personal craft through to exciting and challenging commercial projects, many of which will be first-in-class and require in-depth engineering skill. As part of a team of highly educated experts, you’ll be collaborating with a host of different organisations to create stunning engineering outputs. 

As an individual, you’ll be educated to degree or masters level at 2:1 or first class level in naval architecture and possess a strong and current knowledge of composites and composite manufacture.
