Senior Boat Builder

Role

At Vessev, we’re defining a new category of marine transport : hydrofoiling electric vessels that are genuinely better for people and the planet. To make this possible, we depend on cutting‑edge materials, precision engineering, and a talented build team with deep expertise in composites.

We’re looking for two Senior Composite Boat Builders to join our team. It’s a hands‑on role where you’ll work on the fabrication and assembly of high‑performance composite structures that form the backbone of our vessels. You’ll bring proven experience in composite part fabrication and assembly, contributing directly to the quality and safety of every boat we launch.

What you’ll work on

As a Senior Composite Boat Builder at Vessev, you’ll be trusted with the end‑to‑end execution and continuous improvement of critical build processes.

• Advanced composite fabrication – Lead the creation of complex components using resin infusion and pre‑preg fabrication methods, ensuring dimensional accuracy and structural integrity.
• Vessel structural assembly – Lead locating, fitting, bonding, taping, and finishing operations of composite structures while maintaining rigorous quality and alignment with engineering specifications.
• Process optimisation – Collaborate with engineering and production teams to refine build methods, materials use, and workflow efficiency.
• Quality assurance – Define and uphold inspection standards, ensuring every part meets Vessev’s high expectations for performance and finish.
• Team development & mentorship – Support and up‑skill junior builders through coaching, technical guidance, and shared problem‑solving.
• Workplace excellence – Promote a culture of safety, organisation, and professionalism throughout the workshop.
