Mechanic

Candela’s ultimate purpose is to speed up the transition to fossil fuel-free lakes and oceans. We strive to re-think efficiency in marine transportation to radically push the performance boundaries of electric boats and ships.

By combining sensors, computers and advanced submerged hydrofoils, our electric craft fly above the water, reaching speeds and range previously attained only by fossil fuel powerboats.

After launching Candela C-7, Europe’s currently best-selling electric boat, we launched Candela C-8 in August 2021, the first electric boat intended for high volume production. We are also venturing into public transport with the revolutionary foiling P-12 ferry, built for the city of Stockholm. With an increased demand for our boats, we are scaling up the pace of production and are currently looking for mechanics.

Core responsibilities:

• Work in the mechanical workshop with pre-assembly of in-house designed mechanic components.
• Work in the boats with installation of mechanic components.
• Become an expert in the complete mechanic system belonging to the most advanced serial produced leisure boats today containing in-house designed.
• Pre-assembly and mounting different sub-systems of the boat.
• Repairing and solving the mechanical issues of the boat.
• Conducting quality control checks of the sub-system assembled in pre-assembly. 
• Drive continuous improvement activities in quality, cycle times, cost reduction and process improvement.

We are a 200-strong, multinational team of experts within dynamic modelling, hardware design, hydrodynamics, control theory, machine learning, structural engineering work and production to build the next generation of waterborne transport.

Start date: As soon as possible

Scope: Full-time

Location: At our production facility in Rotebro, Sollentuna. 

Form of employment: Permanent employment, 6 months trial period

Application

The selection and interview process is ongoing, so send your application in English shortly. Kindly note that we cannot process applications sent via email.

Information:

As a part of our standard recruitment process, all final candidates undergo a background check. It's done to enhance awareness about our future employees and ensure a safe working environment for our staff. This background check is mandatory and constitutes the final step of the recruitment process. We use an external partner. When we activate the background check you will receive more information. The background check is based on public information and conducted with your consent.

Candela’s ultimate purpose is to speed up the transition to fossil fuel-free lakes and oceans. We re-think efficiency in waterborne transport to radically push the performance boundaries of electric boats and ships. 

We believe that the faster the world stops relying on fossil fuels and instead moves towards a zero-emission future, the better.

Join our mission to electrify marine transportation? We look forward to hearing from you.
