Every year, an average of two superyachts leave the dry docks of the Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw shipyard in Aalsmeer. Luxury, custom-made yachts that distinguish themselves through the quality of construction, engineering, and finishing.

As a 2D/3D Detail Engineer Exterior, you play a key role in translating design and engineering into manufacturable solutions on board. With your knowledge of customization, materials, and production, you ensure that components such as outdoor furniture, ceilings, and enclosures fit the yacht precisely. You work on a single project for an average of 9 to 12 months, allowing you to see the result of your drafting step by step.

At our shipyard, craftsmanship comes to life. We engineer, produce, and realize custom components for the exterior of unique superyachts. Because every yacht is built entirely according to the client's wishes, engineering and production work closely together every day. As a link between these disciplines, you play a crucial role in components such as outdoor furniture on the owner's deck, an outdoor ceiling, or the enclosure of a jacuzzi. In this way, you contribute directly to the final result of superyachts ranging from 50 to 90 meters.

"The exterior is the calling card of the yacht"

Using design programs such as AutoCAD and TopSolid, you create production drawings for the exterior production department in 2D and 3D. To do this effectively, you will take measurements on board and gather information from colleagues in other engineering disciplines. Imagine you are detailing a bar unit for the sun deck: not just a functional piece of furniture for, say, glassware, but also an eye-catcher that contributes to the luxury appearance of the yacht.

• The 1:20 overview drawings (arrangements) are created by your colleagues from Central Engineering. Once these have been approved by the project team and the client, your work begins. To detail the production drawings, you need information from other disciplines: for example, where is the plumbing for the tap, the drainage for the sink, and the electrical provisions located in relation to the bar unit? We call this an interdisciplinary check. You gather this information from colleagues and also verify it in the theoretical 3D model of the yacht.
• You are closely involved in production. For example, you discuss the manufacturability of outdoor furniture, ceilings, gratings, and other exterior components. We call this pre-engineering: potential problems in the production process are identified early and prevented wherever possible.
• Finally, you review the result in the workshop and on board when they install 'your' drafted furniture. Gathering feedback is important, so that you can do even better next time.

The exterior carpenters work independently on making and installing the woodwork on board. They do this based on your drawings. You spend part of your time collecting and verifying information; the rest of your time you work on engineering the components. You work with, among others, six exterior engineers and the production planning department.

The yachts under construction are located just a stone's throw from your workplace. How unique is that!
