Celerity Craft | Squamish, British Columbia | Full-time, On-site
Celerity Craft is a Squamish-based marine technology startup developing Dynamic Air Cushion Vehicles (DACVs) — innovative, low-energy amphibious craft that combine trimaran hulls with an energized air cushion for lift and propulsion. We are scaling prototypes (including 2.4 m, 5 m, 8 m and 12 m vessels) toward production and are building a high-performance composites capability in the Sea to Sky corridor.
We are looking for a hands-on Composites Technician to join our manufacturing and R&D; team. You will be responsible for fabricating structural and non-structural composite components, with a strong emphasis on carbon fibre, Fiber glass, vacuum infusion and high-quality finishing.
Key Responsibilities Prepare molds, perform surface treatments and lay up fiberglass and carbon fibre laminates to engineering drawings and process specifications.
Execute vacuum infusion processes (resin selection, flow media, bagging, infusion and cure control).
Carry out secondary bonding, core bonding, and assembly of composite parts.
Perform finishing operations including fairing, sanding, gelcoat or paint preparation, and final surface finishing to marine-grade standards.
Inspect parts for defects, document processes and support quality control.
Maintain a clean, safe and organized workshop; follow health & safety procedures for resins, dust and equipment.
Collaborate closely with design engineers on prototype iterations, tooling improvements and process development.
Support occasional field testing and prototype assembly as required.
Requirements Proven hands-on experience working with fiberglass and carbon fibre composites.
Strong practical knowledge of vacuum infusion techniques.
Experience with finishing processes (fairing, sanding, coating) to a high cosmetic and structural standard.
Ability to read technical drawings, follow work instructions and work accurately to tolerances.
Familiarity with common composite materials, resins (epoxy, polyester, vinyl ester), core materials and vacuum bagging consumables.
Strong attention to detail, good problem-solving skills and a safety-first mindset.
Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup/R&D; environment where processes are still being refined.
Preferred / Nice to Have Marine, boat-building or aerospace composites experience.
Experience with larger structures or multi-piece molds.
Knowledge of tooling design, CNC trimming or 3D-printed tooling.
Familiarity with composite repair techniques.
Relevant trade certification or formal composites training.
What We Offer The chance to work on genuinely novel amphibious vessels from prototype through to production.
Direct involvement in process development and continuous improvement.
Highly competitive compensation (commensurate with experience) and the chance to grow with a scaling company.
Based in Squamish — access to outstanding outdoor lifestyle with reasonable access to Vancouver.
Celerity Craft is an equal-opportunity employer. We value practical skill, curiosity and a collaborative attitude as much as formal qualifications.
