    Fitters are often called the "carpenters" of shipbuilding or "Artists of Steel" because they need to read and interpret blueprints or plans to place, maneuver, or fabricate steel structures or hulls of ships.

    Fitters use a variety of tools to measure, cut, grind, fit, align and tack weld parts as small as a fingernail to the large sub-assemblies and super lifts that form the structural body of a ship.

    Fitters also build in-place all interior structures, hatches, doors, bulkheads, etc., to complete all the steel work in the ship.

    Fitters at NNS attend and become qualified through the shipyard's state of the art welding school.

    Fitters are expected to climb and work in high areas, crawl and work in cramped, confined spaces, and perform tasks in all kinds of weather conditions.

    A fitter will apply their skills in various locations across the shipyard, including the shops, platens or concrete and metal structures, dry-docks, and onboard ships in support of new construction, ship repair, and ship overhauls.

    If you have experience* related to the following, you might be a good fit for this job.


    • Construction work (e.g., erecting structures, reading blueprints, framing houses)
    • Carpentry (e.g., framing, cutting metal, using angles)
    • Auto Mechanic or Autobody work
    • Structural iron work (e.g., welding, building structural frameworks, understanding of metals)
    Please learn more by watching this video:
