You share our core values of sustainability, equality, and diversity, and are dedicated to advancing environmentally friendly solutions. 

It's a plus if you have boating experience and a deep understanding of boats and marine technology.

• Ownership over both your work and the company’s success 

• Empathy for colleagues and for customers 

• Humility in problem-solving and collaboration 

• Pragmatism for navigating ambiguity quickly and sensibly 

• Inclusion of different backgrounds, opinions, cultures, etc.

values align. We’d be happy to elaborate on any or all of these during the interview process. 

What you’ll get 

• Talented teammates who challenge you to be better
