About Sunseeker International
Sunseeker founders dreamt of building a new kind of yacht. Breaking boundaries in early design, we’ve revolutionised the motor yacht industry since our conception in 1967. We've always set our sights on the top of the ladder, using our passion and drive to trailblaze with innovation and energy. Expert hands and extraordinary attention to detail are the most valuable skills required to make a Sunseeker. In an era of digital production and automated assembly, we stay committed to creating hand‑built, hand‑finished boats. With a workforce of c.2000 Team Members, the hustle and bustle of our Shipyards creates a place like no other.
Sunseeker International is looking for experienced Paint Sprayers to join our team and contribute to the exceptional craftsmanship behind our world‑renowned luxury yachts. This role is predominantly focused on preparation work, with approximately 70–80% of your time spent filling, fairing and preparing surfaces to the highest standards using Awlfair filler (or equivalent products). Painting duties will be required as needed, using gravity‑fed spray guns to achieve premium‑quality finishes.
Candidates should have strong preparation and finishing experience, excellent attention to detail, and a commitment to quality. Applicants will need to provide their own DA (Dual Action) sander and hoover/vacuum extraction equipment, while a spray gun can be provided if required due to the limited amount of painting involved in the role. If you take pride in producing first‑class finishes and want to work on some of the world's finest luxury yachts, we'd love to hear from you.
