Naval Architecture Technician

If you like it when things really happen on the field… you’re in the right place!

Here, your plans don’t just sit in a file; they go into production on the construction site. The role involves several aspects of the ship: modeling, systems integration, technical documentation, and client support during construction. We’re looking for someone who enjoys understanding the “why” behind choices and can translate that into clear deliverables.

In terms of soft skills, we’re looking for someone reliable, rigorous, curious, able to ask questions, and a good team player. We can give you the exact context of the projects: if you have the foundation and the right attitude, we’ll guide you through the rest.

The Navanex atmosphere

We’re a small, close-knit team. We work hard, but you’re not all alone in your corner.

Things are happening here: projects are moving forward, priorities are being set, and we adjust together when necessary.

We aim for good performance: one where you feel stimulated, well supported and where you see projects truly progressing.

We help each other, we keep things simple and we are proud when the result is solid.
