Spirit Yachts announces recruitment drive

Tuesday, June 29th, 2021

Written by: Marine Industry News

Spirit Yachts is recruiting staff to add to its existing team at the company’s headquarters in Ipswich, Suffolk.

The recruitment drive is a response to a healthy order book for new sailing yachts and continued interest in the company’s sail and motor yacht designs, says Spirit Yachts . This year, the company will launch a Spirit 65DH sailing yacht, a Spirit 72DH, a Spirit 30 day sailor and a P40 superyacht tender.

“Having analysed the production schedule and with our current enquiry rate, we are looking to recruit up to 20 staff by the end of the year,” says Mike Taylor, managing director and head of production at Spirit Yachts.

Spirit Yachts currently employs a team of designers, naval architects, boat builders, finishers, cabinetmakers, and electrical and engineering experts.

“We are keen to talk to experienced candidates and applicants of any level who have the right attitude to learn what it takes to design and build the most exquisite wooden yachts in the world,” adds Taylor. “Our existing team comprises highly skilled craftsmen and women of all ages and backgrounds. Each project is customised and unique, meaning staff enjoy a varied, creative and innovative working environment.”

What is the best place to work? Here's a list of the 10 best Florida-based employers

Florida cities have topped three “best places for jobs” lists since April.

First, a suburb of Orlando took third place on CareerMinds.com’s list of the top 10 cities for those looking for a career change . A month later, in May, three Florida cities ranked on WalletHub’s list of the top 10 U.S. cities for starting a career.

And earlier this month, WalletHub released another rankings list of the best places for summer jobs in 2024, ranking three Florida cities in the top 10. 

Based on these lists, jobs are plentiful in the Sunshine State. But what Florida-based companies are the best employers?

A more recent list from U.S. News and World Report ranked the best Florida-based companies to work for. Here’s the list.

What is the best place to work in Florida?

With Florida being a hotspot for domestic tourists, it probably isn’t very surprising that four of the 10 best companies to work for in Florida are in the hotels, restaurants, travel and leisure industries.

Here are the 10 best Florida-based companies to work for, according to U.S. News and World Report’s rankings list:

• Carnival (Miami) - Best in hotels, restaurants and leisure, ranked in top quality of pay, best companies in the south.

• L3Harris (Melbourne) - L3Harris is a defense and aerospace technology manufacturing company that provides tech for air, land, sea, space and cyber domains. L3Harris ranked in top quality of pay, best in manufacturing and among the best companies in the south.
• MarineMax (Clearwater) - MarineMax is a recreational boat and yacht retailer, receiving best in retail and best companies in the south recognitions on U.S. News’s list.

Roper is ranked among the best in IT, software and services and the best companies in the south.
• SBA Communications Corporation (Boca Raton) - SBA is a real estate investment trust that owns and operates wireless communications infrastructure. SBA controls assets like towers, buildings, rooftops, antenna systems and other tools to support wireless carriers and digital service providers. SBA ranked among the best companies in the south and received recognition for top quality of pay.

What is a normal salary in Florida?

Depending on where you live in the state and what job you have , living in Florida can be affordable. 

First-time home buyers may want to choose a different state to settle down on a budget and prices for things like groceries and insurance in Florida are some of the highest in the nation , but it isn’t all bad news.

To make ends meet in Florida, you typically don’t have to make more than the national average salary (around $59,000).

According to BankRate and MIT’s living wage calculator , a single adult with no children would need to earn a minimum of $36,848 to make ends meet in Florida. Cost of living is subjective to where you’re located in the state, though. 

For example, residents in some metropolitan areas across southeast Florida need to make $100,000 each year in order to avoid being rent burdened.

‘Her spirit is so strong’: Woman survives being buried alive

WESTFIELD, Mass. ( WGGB /Gray News) - A woman in Massachusetts survived the unimaginable after she was buried alive at a local construction site.

After beating the odds, Ashley Piccirilli is now thriving.

“If I knew I could’ve died in that hole, would I have panicked? Maybe,” she said. “I literally didn’t think I could die.”

Piccirilli’s chance of surviving after she was buried alive while working at a Northampton construction site was less than 2%.

“It was a gorgeous day. We had just eaten lunch,” Piccirilli said. “I was down in the trench, no supports, no shoring. I had no idea. It was just another day.”

However, what started off as an ordinary day just a week into her new construction job turned into a fight for survival.

“There was a gentleman in the excavator from up top who noticed the wall collapsing,” Piccirilli said. “He yelled, ‘Watch out!’”

At that moment, Piccirilli’s life was about to change.

One of the trench’s side walls came crashing in, trapping her under thousands of pounds of dirt.

“At first, it only really felt like when a friend comes and meets you and gives you that bear hug and it’s kind of uncomfortable and you don’t really like it and really that’s all it felt like,” Piccirilli said.

Although her world was quite literally caving in, the Air Force veteran’s first thought wasn’t of panic.

“They know where I am. They’re coming to get me, so I stayed calm through the whole thing … took very, very small breaths,” Piccirilli said. “I couldn’t take a big breath because there was no room for my lungs to expand because that dirt was packed in.”

Her fellow crewmates and first responders fortunately did not give up on her and continued to work to free her.

“They fought hard to get me out. They knew more than I did about the situation I was in,” Piccirilli said.

It took about 30 minutes for Piccirilli to be uncovered, but the rescue mission was nowhere near being over by then.

“Little did I know, I broke all the ribs on my right side and I think on my left. My lung collapsed, internal bleeding,” Piccirilli said.

She was rushed to Baystate Medical Center where a team of doctors was waiting.

“I don’t remember arriving there, but I do remember being wheeled right into the O.R. I saw a few fuzzy things and I remember people running around and I remember, who I now know as Dr. Kramer, saying, ‘We’re going to take care of you. You’re going to be alright,’” Piccirilli said.

Baystate Medical Center trauma surgeon Dr. Kristina Kramer said Piccirilli was bleeding to death when she arrived.

“It became very clear she needed surgery right away,” she said.

Piccirilli’s prognosis was grim.

“She was bleeding so much that when we found the place [where] she was bleeding from, we could actually hear it. It’s called ‘audible bleeding,’” Kramer said. “That’s when we called for extra help.”

Kramer said Piccirilli’s heart stopped during surgery and had to be restarted.

After the initial surgery, Piccirilli received another surgery the next day, spending the following 30 days at the hospital.

“It’s rare everything goes as smoothly as it did,” Kramer said.

Kramer said it was partly Piccirilli’s fighter spirit that things went as well as they did.

“Her spirit is so strong. As soon as we extubated her, there was a smile on her face and she was always so grateful for the care she had received,” she said.

Piccirilli said she had a lot to fight for.

“My main focus was getting back to flight school … I wanted to prove people wrong, that I could do it still,” she said. “That even though I went through this, I can still get myself through there.”

Her family also kept her strong in some of her toughest moments.

“My nieces and nephews, and I have a gazillion of them, they were my motivating factor as well,” she said. “I remember missing birthdays when I was in the hospital and they actually postponed my nephew’s birthday for when I got out. This is what I’m here for.”

Now, the sky’s the limit for Piccirilli.

“I went to flight school almost a year later, I think it was a year and a month from the accident,” Piccirilli said.

After more than a year of training, Piccirilli is flying high as a pilot at Barnes Air National Guard Base. She doesn’t think about the day of her accident very often. Instead, she thinks about the people who saved her life to get her through the hard days.

“If it doesn’t strengthen your faith, in whatever you believe in, I don’t know what can,” she said. Taking every day as it is and not getting angry at the little things … I don’t have road rage as much anymore. Little things change.”

SPIRIT SY111

REALISING THE DREAM

“Build a work of art”. The brief from the owner of the Spirit 111 Geist had beauty and soul at its heart.

A completely custom project, the design of the yacht began with a collaboration between Spirit Yachts and Rhoades Young. Jonathan Rhoades commented, “The brief was a combination of his love for furniture and organic architecture. The client had recently visited Antelope Canyon in Arizona and this was the catalyst for the idea of the warm soft flowing walls creating unique focal points within the room.”

Spirit Designer Sean McMillan added, “There was to be no straight lines or objects that interrupted the ‘flow’ of the sweeping timber curves. Once the aesthetics were established, the primary design challenge was marrying the beauty of the interior with the operation of the yacht. After Rhoades Young had delivered the initial ‘S’ shaped concept for the interior, it was our task to bring the design to life and ensure it could be accomplished by the build team. The visual side of the brief made the importance of ‘hidden’ technical spaces even more acute given the amount of systems and engineering on such an advanced yacht. The curves of the interior not only had to look seamless, they also had to house the functional elements of the yacht and be accessible. Hidden recesses and sensors became integral for disguising storage and technical spaces (even door handles were replaced with secret hand-activated sensors to ensure the doors remained seamless panels). As well as looking like a “work of art”, the interior of the yacht also had to comply to RINA’s exacting classification requirements. This marriage of practicality, safety and beauty to deliver on the owner’s brief made the project a thrilling challenge.”

Geist’s owner added, “I have owned a Spirit 52 for ten years and during this time I have grown to implicitly trust and respect the team at Spirit Yachts. I knew they would listen to my ideas and I was confident they had the skills to execute the project. The result is Geist: a very special yacht, a dream come true. The aesthetics of the yacht, inside and out, were always of paramount importance. Closely followed by the aim of being as self-sufficient as possible and minimising the impact on the environment. In most larger yachts, space is gained at the cost of detaching yourself from nature. In Geist, I wanted beauty to take precedence over practicality.”
