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.

We are now looking for a Compliance Engineer to support Candela’s growth ambitions. In this role, you will play a critical role in overseeing safety and regulatory compliance of all products throughout their lifecycle, from concept to production and operation. This includes working closely with design, engineering, and Operations teams to ensure that all products comply with relevant industry regulations and standards. You will be responsible for ensuring continuous compliance with national and international maritime regulations.

• Monitor and evaluate the regulatory landscape to ensure that company products are in line with evolving standards and regulations.
• Support during internal and external audits related to product safety and compliance, and drive corrective actions as necessary.
• Stay on top of industry trends and technological advancements in shipbuilding to ensure continuous improvement in product safety

What we are looking for
To be successful in this role, you have a proactive and detail-oriented approach. You demonstrate strong analytical skills in understanding and interpreting complex regulations. Additionally, effective communication is essential for liaising with regulatory institutions and internal teams, aligning product requirements with compliance needs.
