Job description

Want to shape the future of waterborne transport and join a world-class team?

Candela is the global leader in electric hydrofoil vessels. Since 2014, we’ve gone from building our first premium electric speedboat in a small Stockholm workshop to delivering game-changing vessels around the globe. The Candela P-12 is our latest innovation - the world’s first electric hydrofoil ferry is not just operating in Stockholm, but now attracting orders from around the world.
Our boats “fly” thanks to computer-guided underwater wings under the hull made out of lightweight carbon fiber. The wings lift the vessel above the water, which results in cutting energy use by up to 80%, while offering zero emissions and a far better passenger experience than traditional diesel vessels.

And that’s exactly why we do this. Our mission is clear: to speed up the transition to fossil fuel–free lakes and oceans.

You can be part of the amazing team in Candela now! We are looking for Junior Boat builders for our Composite area to support Candela’s future growth ambitions.

Your core responsibilities will include:

• Working hands-on on building boats - mounting of hardware on the walls, trimming, laminating, assembling and finishing composite parts

• Choosing the appropriate composite materials (fibers, resins, adhesives) based on the project requirements

• Maintain equipment, molds, and tools

• Inspect components to ensure they meet specifications and delivery targets

• Document your work according to company guidelines

• Follow safety rules and regulations working with personal protective equipment given by the company

• Work in an international environment - our corporate language is English (including production)

Requirements:

• Be able to communicate in English as it is required in your daily work

• Experience working safely with tools and maintaining them - power tools and other handy tools

• High interest in working with carbon fiber and willingness to learn more

• Ability to work according to the drawings/blueprints and instructions

• Attention to detail and high-quality standards

• To be physically allowed to work in an environment where you are exposed to dust particles and chemicals while using proper PPE

• To be able to stand for extended periods and work hands-on as well as working within tight spaces

It would be preferred if you have:

• Experience from production or workshop setting

• Experience from working in the boating industry

• Experience of workshop tools such as trimming tools and saws

• Experience with composite materials are a huge benefit
