Senior Boat Builder

At Vessev, we’re defining a new category of marine transport: hydrofoiling electric vessels that are genuinely better for people and the planet. Our boats fly above the surface using advanced hydrofoils, control systems, and electric propulsion, designed and built here in Aotearoa.

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 a Senior Boat Builder to join the team in a hands-on, full-time role, fabricating and assembling the high-performance composite structures that form the backbone of our vessels. This is the chance to directly shape the future of maritime transport. 

The role

As a Senior Boat Builder, you’ll be trusted with the end-to-end execution and continuous improvement of critical build processes, contributing directly to the quality and safety of every boat we launch. With everyone working out of the same facility, our engineering and boat production teams are tightly integrated.

What you’ll be doing

Composite fabrication and assembly

• Create complex composite components using resin infusion and pre-preg methods, ensuring dimensional accuracy and structural integrity.
• Take ownership of locating, fitting, bonding, taping and finishing composite structures, in line with engineering specifications.
• Work with composite tooli
