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, valuable 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 opportunity 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.
