Northampton-based P&B is looking for a motivated individual to join its sail making team, with comprehensive training provided.

Where Championship Craft Meets Technical Training

Working within P&B's sail loft, you'll learn precision craft techniques whilst contributing to the construction of performance sails trusted by champions. This position offers the opportunity to master a specialist trade through hands-on experience with professionals who've built championship-winning sails for over 50 years.

What P&B Needs

Previous sail making or sewing experience isn't required. The company wants someone with genuine enthusiasm for developing specialist technical skills, strong hand-eye coordination for precision work, and the fitness needed for standing work and handling bulky materials.

You'll need a meticulous approach to quality control, the ability to work effectively within a specialist team, and professional dedication and consistency. Most importantly, an understanding that each sail supports a sailor's competitive performance.

What's On Offer

Development in advanced sail making techniques, learning from experienced professionals in a world-class facility. Competitive salary reflecting your developing skills and commitment, with clear career progression within an established industry leader. You'll create championship-winning sails used by competitive sailors globally.

P&B combines technical precision with comprehensive training, creating an environment where dedication and skill development contribute directly to the company's reputation for excellence in performance sailing.

The position is open until filled. To apply, contact P&B to arrange an informal discussion about the opportunity.
