Bay Shipbuilding is hiring. Of all the marine manufacturing companies in Wisconsin, Sturgeon Bay-based Bay Shipbuilding has the largest and most urgent need as winter closes in. The company is looking for 100 full-time workers and many seasonal workers for its ship-repair business. Well have 14 or 15 vessels stacking up like cordwood, human resources manager Bill Behme said of winter repair orders. It will include all manner of repair and re-powering. Bay Shipbuilding is one of the most significant large-ship repair yards on the Great Lakes. The beauty is, when we get into the winter months, anybody who would like to make lots more money based on overtime, there are ample opportunities, Behme said. We work seven days a week. Its a narrow window (to get repairs completed). Boat owners dont want to miss deliveries. Also, the company, which has 600 employees, most of them represented by one of four unions, has an order for nine new vessels in the next three years. Bay Shipbuilding needs welders, pipefitters, electricians, engineers, CAD designers, supervisors and managers in its production area. It also needs semi-skilled and unskilled workers for its seasonal repair business. Wages range from $14 to $23 an hour. In a relatively short period of time, we will have to add on several hundred skilled workers, Behme said.
