Composite Painter We are recruiting for a skilled Painter to join a specialist composites team working on high-end carbon fibre lifting equipment used within the superyacht sector. This is a hands-on role focused primarily on large composite components rather than full vessel painting, offering a varied and technically engaging workload. This is a full time permanent position based in Lymington.
The Role You’ll be working within a dedicated davits department, responsible for finishing large carbon fibre structures (typically 2m–4m in size). The role involves a full end-to-end painting process, requiring strong attention to detail and a methodical approach.
Key responsibilities include:
Surface preparation including heavy grinding, sanding and fairing
Application of primers and marine paint systems
Building multiple paint layers to a high-quality finish
Final finishing including machine polishing and detailing
Supporting basic fit-out work on completed components
Occasionally assisting in the wider shipyard with boat repairs and full resprays when required
About You This is a rare opportunity for a painter who enjoys variety and takes pride in high-quality finishes. The ideal candidate will be adaptable, proactive, and confident working across different stages of the paint process.
We’re looking for someone who:
Has experience with marine, automotive, or industrial paint systems
Is confident with prep work as well as final finishing and polishing
Ideally has exposure to composites or carbon fibre (not essential)
Can work independently and “hit the ground running” in a busy environment
Is flexible and willing to support wider yard activities when needed
Has a strong eye for detail and commitment to quality
Why This Role?
Work on premium, high-spec carbon fibre products within the superyacht industry
Varied workload beyond traditional boat painting
Stable, busy department with consistent year-round work
Opportunity to broaden your skillset across composites, paint, and light fit-out
