Position Overview

The Ingalls Ship fitter is the truest picture of a Shipbuilding Craftsman. They are the artisans who cut, grind, bend and fit together the raw steel to create the shape of our battle‑tested ships.

An Ingalls Ship fitter, also referred to as a Journeyman Ship fitter or a Boilermaker, is responsible for various tools and equipment used in the fabrication, assembling and erection of metal components at the various stages in constructing a marine vessel. Ingalls shipyard production areas at times involve working at different heights, confined spaces, different weather conditions as well as multiple shifts 24 hours a day.

As with most every position in the shipyard, a Ship fitter may be required to work either day or night dependent upon the number of ships under construction at any one point in time. Ingalls stresses the practice of working safely in all situations, with safety procedures meeting, and most times, exceeding industry standards.

• Must be at least 18 years old
• Must have completed a craft skills training program or previous experience
• Must be willing to work any shift
