The refit and shipbuilding industry is going strong at the moment. It’s one of the sectors that always seems to be doing well, no matter what is going on in the world at the time. It’s for this reason that it’s one of the best sectors to get into if you can. We know that it’s a little different from your time in the armed forces, but it’s certainly a fast-paced environment that you can thrive in. Let’s take a look at some more information about this.

Always Something To Do

As we mentioned, the dockyards are absolutely full of orders, so there is always something to do, so you won’t have time to just sit there and relax. Your mind, and body are going to be kept occupied by the demands of this industry, which is a fantastic thing for people who love to have something to do.

Adjusting back to life as a civilian can be hard for some people, so always having something to do is going to be a huge help. Having the consistency and stability of a job like this in a healthy industry is a great way to build a solid foundation in your life.

Work That Allows Transferable Skills

It might not be specifically what you were trained to do, but by being in the armed forces, you have a lot of transferable skills which means that you will be able to do the jobs. You can learn fast, you have the necessary abilities to complete the tasks and what you don’t know right now, you will soon.

We can assure you that even if you don’t see it, you already have a lot of the necessary required skills ready to go. You may not even realise that some of the skills you do already know but have not used them in this kind of capacity before.

It’s also going to be a huge bonus that you already have security clearance ready and waiting so you don’t have to go through the vetting process again. It makes the process easier, and you don’t lose your security clearance due to inactivity.

Hands On Work

Having been a member of the armed forces previously, it’s safe to assume that you enjoy some level of hands-on work. Working in shipbuilding and ship refit is extremely hands-on work. You won’t be stuck in an office, wearing a suit and answering calls all day. While this is the life some people dream of, if you know that this isn’t for you, then you’re going to want to consider a career in the ship refit and building industry.

The shipbuilding industry is alive and well as you can see. The dockyards are packed with orders, so there is always going to be plenty to do which means that it’s a fantastic sector to head into if you are interested in this.
