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 fibre. 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.

• Knowledge of joinery techniques and finishing methods.
