Job Description
n
Finished school and looking for a career that's
hands-on, outdoorsy, practical and definitely not sitting behind a desk all day?
n
Hart Marine is looking for enthusiastic
Apprentice Boat Builders
to join our team in Somerville.
n
We build
large, high-performance fiberglass Pilot and Police vessels
that operate around Australia and overseas. Yep — the boats you help build can end up out on the water doing some pretty important jobs!
n
If you're keen to learn a trade, work with your hands, be part of a excellent team and get paid while you learn, this could be the perfect start to your career.
Why Hart Marine? n
Learn a real trade while getting paid.
You'll receive hands-on training and ongoing support from qualified tradespeople who will teach you everything you need to know to become a qualified Boat Builder.
n
Work with a great crew.

n
Get paid well.
We offer
above-award pay rates
, plus uniforms and all the support you need throughout your apprenticeship.
n
Build something you can be proud of.
You won't just be making widgets on a production line. You'll be helping build impressive vessels that are used by Pilot and Police services.
n
Get out on the water.
Depending on your role and training, you'll have opportunities to assist with
sea trials and boat deliveries around Australia and potentially overseas.
n
Safety comes first.
We take workplace health and safety seriously and make sure you have the right training, equipment and support to do the job safely.
