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.

And you can be part of that journey as well, because we are now looking for a Service technician to support Candela’s growth ambitions!

Your core responsibilities will include:

• Troubleshooting, diagnosing, and repairing vessels both on-site at customer locations and at our dedicated service workshop in Lidingö, Stockholm.
• Performing field service and repairs at customers’ or partners’ facilities in Sweden and abroad, often requiring hands-on problem solving and quick technical assessments.
• Carrying out scheduled maintenance and inspections of vessels, documenting findings, and providing feedback to improve performance, reliability, and service routines.
• Remotely support customer in Sweden and when needed the rest of the Candela world.
  
• Service of boats (washing, polishing, preparing for winter storage etc).
  
• Transport and launch of boats, both by road and sea.
  
• Participate in development of special service tools and service instructions for upcoming vessels generations.
  
• Participate in development of methods and process in connection to our service operations.
  
• Commissioning and customer hand-over of new vessels.
  
• Conduct sea trials and performance testing.
