At De Vries Scheepsbouw Makkum, the jewel of the Frisian economy, we build exceptional Feadships: world-class yachts, fully customized to the client's wishes and finished to perfection. From our modern shipyard on the IJsselmeer, we proudly work on projects up to 120 meters. Every detail counts, and everyone's craftsmanship contributes to the final result. Together, we realize yachts that garner admiration worldwide. That is your contribution to the construction of a Feadship.

As a Small Piping Fitter, you will work on the systems that run throughout the entire yacht. Think of hydraulics, working air, and Hi-Fog. You will work on board the yacht, and the spaces where you will be found most often are the engine room and technical spaces. Everything you install must be technically correct and neatly finished. Even spaces that guests never see are finished in exquisite detail at Feadship.

You will work together with colleagues on the yacht from the moment the hull arrives until the launch. Together, you ensure that the complete piping system on the yacht is correct. You will divide your time approximately 50 percent in the workshop and 50 percent on board:

• In the workshop, you bend pipes;
• On board, you take your own measurements and install the piping in the correct location.

At De Vries, pipes are not supplied as pre-fabricated components, but you handle the entire process yourself: measuring, bending, adjusting, and installing. You do not work from fully detailed drawings, but from schematics. You determine the pipe route yourself and establish where bends, connections, and brackets must be placed. This requires technical insight, and having an overview and taking initiative is valued here.

• Independently measuring and installing small piping (6 to 42 mm);

• An eye for detail and a neat way of working.
