We have an exciting opportunity within the engineering office for a talented individual to join the Reliability group.
The successful candidate will be able to join us by August 2022 and will work across design, test and shoreside operations to achieve and maintain the highest level of yacht reliability. This role will allow the successful candidate an opportunity to gain exposure and understanding of all engineering systems on the AC75.
