Naval Vessel Structural Layout Fitter

Every vessel depends on the precision of its structure. In this role, you turn blueprints into reality—laying out, measuring, cutting, fitting, and aligning steel plates, stiffeners, bulkheads, and other components that define a ship’s integrity. You’ll prep joints and position materials for welding, handle torches and grinders with control, and confirm that dimensions and alignment meet spec before final weld-out. You’ll do it all while partnering with welders and other trades and upholding shipyard safety practices.
