Composites Engineer Wanted

Company Profile –

MJM Yachts builds a world renowned Down East style motor yacht focused on exceptional stability, high-tech composite construction, fuel efficiencies and live aboard comfort. These luxury performance yachts, 29’ to 50’, provide owners with both outboard and inboard models. MJM Yachts is the “brain child” of J Boats founder Bob Johnstone and his need to transition from sailboats to motor yachts as he and his wife Mary got older.

For the last 20 years MJMs have been manufactured at Boston Boatworks. Now, the production facility is transitioning to a new facility located off the Pamlico River in Washington, NC.
