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 only operating in Stockholm, but is 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, reducing 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 now be part of the amazing team at Candela! We are looking for Boat Builders to support Candela’s future growth ambitions.
About the role
As a Boat Builder, you will play an important hands-on role in building our electric boats. We have opportunities in two different areas of production: Assembly and Composite.

Across both areas, you will work with a variety of hand tools and power tools, and be responsible for using and maintaining them safely and efficiently.
