Sunseeker became a poorly managed company with many friends and relatives in the helm having little ideas about how to run the shop floor. The business is bleeding money and if things are not changing, it will face serious issues if not already.
Talent is not recognised whatsoever, should you be great at your job, it will only assure that your upward mobility will be crippled while those not pulling their weight become your leaders. If you don’t wear your PPE or you’re late one too many times even for genuine reasons, you will likely find yourself outside of the gates but you can have a plethora of improvement notices, be as lazy as you wish, make as many “small” mistakes as you are not ashamed of.. You’ll be just fine.
Payment is flat rate for convenience, meaning a newcomer as well as an unproductive person will take home the same wages as those who have decades of experience and would like to deliver, resulting in good tradespeople seeking recognition elsewhere and very few of the remainder caring about anything at all other than clocking in/out.. The moral around here is so low you can’t even see it.
The high number of unqualified staff and many untrained contractors are causing a bunch of quality issues which is often left unchecked unless those who still care about these things fix them on their own incentive.
The input of professionals doing the actual building of these yachts is frequently flat out ignored by the higher ups, many of whom likely have no relevant shop floor experience in the marine niche.
Lagging or non existent communication between departments… items that should not be stored outside are being stored outside for weeks causing damages in the tens of thousands…
It’s a shame though.. There’s tremendous potential in this business and it used to be a place where i liked coming in.
