Our goal is simple to build the best canoes in the world and do it locally in Hawai'i. We strive for sustainability, happy customers, and happy workers. If you like building things, we're hoping that you might want to join us.
We're looking for people that can learn to build canoes from start to finish. This is a full-time position. We want everyone on our team to be able to perform the entire process. Primary responsibilities include lamination (laying up carbon fiber and epoxy, vacuum bagging, autoclave processing), finishing (quality checks, wet sanding, polishing, rigging and final detailing), repairs, and general production tasks as needed.
We need someone who takes pride in quality work, likes to work independently and as part of a small team, wants to master a craft, has good attention to detail, and can handle physical work.
Starting $20-25+/hr depending on experience. Benefits include full medical, dental, vision, 401k, and 50% off a canoe every 2 years. We are very willing to teach and train people with no direct experience, but we like to see some examples of work, art, or projects that demonstrate your skills, ability to learn, and passion. Experience with composites, woodworking, auto body, surfboards, or similar hands-on work is helpful. Experience and interest in paddling is always a plus.
