Full job description

About RS Sailing
At RS Sailing, our workshop is at the heart of what we do. From building world-class boats to developing new designs and techniques, our Cowes site plays a key role in bringing ideas to life and delivering products used by sailors across the globe.

The Role
We are looking for a GRP Laminator / Boat Builder to join our team in Cowes. This is a hands-on role where you’ll be involved in the build and finishing of a range of boats across the RS portfolio.

You’ll work with both hand layup and infusion processes, using vinyl ester and polyester resin systems, as well as carrying out finishing work to ensure each component meets our quality standards before moving through production.

This role would suit someone who enjoys practical work, takes pride in quality, and is keen to develop their skills within a supportive and experienced team.

Key Responsibilities

Carry out wet layup and infusion laminations from technical drawings
Gelcoat application
Trimming, sanding, and finishing components to a high standard
Carry out basic finishing work including polishing, fettling, and preparation for next stages
Kit cutting and material preparation
Accurately record material usage
Maintain high standards of workshop housekeeping

What We Are Looking For

Strong attention to detail, particularly in finishing and final presentation
Reliable, hands-on approach
Able to work both independently and as part of a team
Comfortable working from drawings
Good work ethic with minimal supervision
Physically fit and happy working in a workshop environment
Willingness to learn and develop new skills

Desirable (but not essential)

Previous experience in GRP laminating or boat building
Infusion experience
Gelcoat spraying or repairs
Finishing experience (polishing, cosmetic repair, final prep)
General GRP repair work

What We Offer

Competitive hourly rate based on experience
Training and development opportunities
Company pension scheme
Cycle to work scheme
Opportunity to build a career in the marine industry

Pay & Progression
The hourly rate ranges from £14.20 to £15.50 depending on experience.

We typically offer a starting rate aligned to experience, with a formal review after a three-month probation period. Where candidates can demonstrate strong, relevant experience from day one, we are open to offering a higher starting rate within the range.

Location
This role is based in Cowes (PO31 7UT). You’ll need to reliably commute or relocate before starting.

Pay: £14.20-£15.50 per hour

Application question(s):

What relevant experience do you have in GRP laminating or boat building? Please include processes you’ve worked with (e.g. hand layup, infusion, gelcoat, finishing).
Are you comfortable working from technical drawings and carrying out laminating and finishing work with minimal supervision? (Yes / No – please give a brief example)
Can you reliably commute to Cowes (PO31 7UT) and do you have the right to work in the UK? (Yes / No to both)
How soon would you be available to start? Please include any notice period.

Work Location: In person
