GSRJ Shipyard highly values career development and training. As a new industry in Jamaica, we aim to train a skilled local labour force to deliver the highest quality and productivity. We welcome all candidates interested in skill excellence and being part of an exceptional organizational culture. To achieve this, we have established partnerships with renowned training institutions such as the Caribbean Maritime University (CMU) and the Human Employment and Resources Training Trust/National Service Training Agency (HEART/NSTA) in Jamaica.

In January 2024, GSRJ signed a Memorandum of Understanding with CMU to collaborate on training young Jamaicans for the ship repair industry. Specific training areas include:

• Welding Certification to Classification Society (international) standards
• Floating Dock Operations and Management
• Marine Engine Repair and Maintenance Services
• Retrofitting of Ballast Systems

Additionally, GSRJ recruits from various maritime courses offered at CMU and provides sea-time internships for graduates of the Marine Engineering and Navigation degree courses, including opportunities on our clients’ vessels. If you are a student or graduate from CMU, we encourage you to explore these opportunities.
