Designer Student - Fall 2023

You Auto-CAN do anything. You’re a design superstar who is 3D – detail-oriented, decisive, and driven. Genoa Design International is currently recruiting for a Student Designer to join our Design & Consulting Team for the upcoming Fall 2023 semester!

We have a varying degree of experience and skills in multiple disciplines, all working together to achieve a common goal of delivering accurate, high-quality documents to our customers. Our team is split into three main divisions that complement one another, Technical Information, 3D Modeling and Manufacturing Information (MI). The 3D model team takes engineering documents and turns them into a fully integrated digital ship. The MI team takes the 3D model and produces 2D drawings that the shipyard production facilities can fabricate from.

WHO WE ARE

Genoa Design International has been providing production design and 3D modeling services to shipbuilding and offshore industries from here in Newfoundland and Labrador since 1995. In that time, we’ve become one of the most sought-after production design firms in the North American shipbuilding market.

With collaboration as the cornerstone of our work, we approach every day with a focus on our core values: Put People First, Create Lasting Relationships, Make a Difference, Own It, Live Well, and Never Stand Still. Our customers tell us that our employees’ everyday demonstration of our values sets Genoa apart from competitors.

With a team of designers, engineers, naval architects, administrators, and technical support staff dispersed between locations, Genoa provides expertise and dedicated support throughout the shipbuilding process. Currently, Genoa is active in major government initiatives such as Canada’s National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS) and in commercial contracts in shipyards throughout North America.

• 3D design/drafting knowledge using AutoCAD.
• Ability to read and interpret technical specifications and drawings.
