In order to meet a large increase in design work, BMT Nigel Gee, a subsidiary of BMT Group, the leading international design, engineering and risk management consultancy, has announced expansion activity at its offices in Southampton. Operating across four principal market sectors, the naval architectural practice delivers design and engineering services for specialised vessels in the large yacht, commercial, defence, as well as offshore energy markets.

John Bonafoux, Managing Director of BMT Nigel Gee says: “These are very exciting times for us with large, long term contracts that are driving a need for significant expansion in our design team. Work in both commercial and defence markets has remained strong, but it is the superyacht market in particular that is driving this expansion with new design orders for some of the world’s largest and most prestigious superyachts.

We now have a need to recruit experienced staff across naval architecture, structural, mechanical and outfit engineering disciplines and are looking for high calibre staff at all levels from design engineers to more senior staff that can help manage these large, complex design contracts.”
