How many jobs would this bring to Solano County? And what kind of jobs?

Mon Apr 14 2025

At full build out, the Solano Shipyard Complex would likely create tens of thousands of direct and indirect jobs spanning nearly every maritime and advanced manufacturing sector. In addition to skilled trades like welding, electrical, and pipefitting, the shipyard will require naval architects, marine engineers, and planners. 

The model mirrors that of large Gulf Coast shipyards like Ingalls Shipbuilding and Austal USA, which employ tens of thousands across trade, technical, and white-collar roles, and offer career opportunities for everyone from entry-level apprentices to experienced engineers and executive leadership.

With strong partnerships across community colleges, universities, and industry, the project will create a wide range of high-wage, upwardly mobile pathways for Solano County residents.
