Hullbot is an Australian robotics company building autonomous robots that operate underwater on ship hulls, helping vessels reduce fuel consumption and emissions.

Our technology is already deployed across Australia, the US and Mexico and we’re continuing to expand our operational capability globally.

We’re looking for someone based in Vancouver to deploy and operate our robots on real commercial vessels and become part of our growing global operations team.

What you’ll do

- Deploy and recover autonomous marine robots on vessels
- Work hands-on with the robots, including direct operation when required
- Prepare equipment and ensure mission readiness
- Monitor and support live robotic missions
- Work alongside Hullbot’s remote operations / Teleops teams
- Produce mission reports, including photos and robot performance reports
- Perform field checks and basic troubleshooting
- Help maintain and prepare the local robotic fleet between missions
- Work around ports, vessels and some seriously impressive ships
- Help us scale our operations in Vancouver and across NA
- You’ll be trained properly.

You’ll receive a structured onboarding and training program, combining hands-on training with our robots and remote support from experienced Hullbot team members. Once you're trained, you won't be on your own.



You'll have ongoing support from Hullbot people across the world. You’ll be joining a global team learning every day how to deploy increasingly autonomous robotic systems at scale.

Who are we looking for?

- Someone technical, hands-on, curious, dependable and genuinely excited by technology.
- Experience with robotics, drones, ROVs, marine operations, electronics, mechanics, engineering or technical field work is outstanding, but attitude and practical ability matter just as much.

If you're excited by being part of an impactful team, seeing amazing underwater scenes daily, we want to hear from you. Pay: From $35.00 per hour

Application question(s)

- Do you have working rights in Canada?
- This position involves manually lifting and moving a ~15kg underwater robot in and out of water, often on uneven or wet surfaces, multiple times per shift. Are you able to perform this physical task as part of your regular duties?
