Chief Electrician Yachting

Eekels | TBI is looking for a Chief Fitter for the project location Amsterdam, Monnickendam or Kaag for the business unit Yachting. As a Chief Electrician you help build a specific yacht. Using cable lists, overview drawings and electrical diagrams, cables are installed and systems are connected. We develop some of the more than 160 systems ourselves, including the main switchboards, lighting panels, Alarm Monitoring Control System and AV/IT systems. You also help commission these various systems that are installed on board. You test whether everything works properly and resolve any errors. The construction time of a yacht varies, but think of 1.5 to 3 years completion time. This has to do with the size of the yacht.

The Business Unit Yachting is one of the largest electrotechnical system integrators within the Dutch yacht building industry and is active at various shipyards such as Royal van Lent, Royal De Vries Scheepsbouw and Royal Hakvoort. As a system integrator, we are present from start to finish to install and connect the self-designed systems. This for the energy supply to the yacht control and all conceivable technological experiences on board.
