Descrição da oferta de emprego

Celerity Craft | Squamish, British Columbia | Full-time, On-site

Celerity Craft is a Squamish-based marine technology startup developing Dynamic Air Cushion Vehicles (DACVs) — innovative, low-energy amphibious craft that combine trimaran hulls with an energized air cushion for lift and propulsion. We are scaling prototypes (including 2.4 m, 5 m, 8 m and 12 m vessels) toward production and are building a high-performance composites capability in the Sea to Sky corridor.

We are looking for a hands-on Composites Technician to join our manufacturing and R&D team. You will be responsible for fabricating structural and non-structural composite components, with a strong emphasis on carbon fibre, Fiber glass, vacuum infusion and high-quality finishing.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare molds, perform surface treatments and lay up fiberglass and carbon fibre laminates to engineering drawings and process specifications.
• Execute vacuum infusion processes (resin selection, flow media, bagging, infusion and cure control).
• Carry out secondary bonding, core bonding, and assembly of composite parts.
• Perform finishing operations including fairing, sanding, gelcoat or paint preparation, and final surface finishing to marine-grade standards.
• Inspect parts for defects, document processes and support quality control.
• Maintain a clean, safe and organized workshop; follow health & safety procedures for resins, dust and equipment.
• Collaborate closely with design engineers on prototype iterations, tooling improvements and process development.
• Support occasional field testing and prototype assembly as required.

Requirements

• Proven hands-on experience working with fiberglass and carbon fibre composites.
• Strong practical knowledge of vacuum infusion techniques.
• Experience with finishing processes (fairing, sanding, coating) to a high cosmetic and structural standard.
• Ability to read technical drawings, follow work instructions and work accurately to tolerances.
• Familiarity with common composite materials, resins (epoxy, polyester, vinyl ester), core materials and vacuum bagging consumables.
• Strong attention to detail, good problem-solving skills and a safety-first mindset.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup/R&D environment where processes are still being refined.

Preferred / Nice to Have

• Marine, boat-building or aerospace composites experience.
• Experience with larger structures or multi-piece molds.
• Knowledge of tooling design, CNC trimming or 3D-printed tooling.
• Familiarity with composite repair techniques.
• Relevant trade certification or formal composites training.

What We Offer

• The chance to work on genuinely novel amphibious vessels from prototype through to production.
• Direct involvement in process development and continuous improvement.
• Highly competitive compensation (commensurate with experience) and the opportunity to grow with a scaling company.
• Based in Squamish — access to outstanding outdoor lifestyle with reasonable access to Vancouver.

Celerity Craft is an equal-opportunity employer. We value practical skill, curiosity and a collaborative attitude as much as formal qualifications.
