Vacant job

We are now looking for a hull mechanic at Muskövarvet, a role for you with a technical interest, good aptitude for assembly, and attention to detail. In this position, you will work with troubleshooting, service, and repair of the vessels' hull-related functions. This includes everything from doors, hatches, and seals to various fixed installations that must be correctly, tightly, and securely fitted. It may involve fixed structures, fastenings, and functions within the hull.

The work is varied and practical, with a clear connection between mechanics, assembly, and inspection work. You will work closely with both colleagues and vessels, often in tight spaces, and need to have an eye for how things should function in reality.

Please Note:

Muskövarvet is a security-protected workplace. This means that you must be a Swedish citizen, have a clean criminal record, and be able to pass a security clearance with a background check according to the Security Protection Act (2018:585).

As a hull mechanic, you are responsible for checking, adjusting, and ensuring the function and fit of the vessels' hull-related components. You identify deviations during inspections and perform necessary actions, such as adjustments, assembly, or simpler mechanical interventions. The work is often methodical and follows established routines, where quality and safety are crucial. The work also involves bolt connections, fastenings, and simpler mechanical actions, often in close collaboration with other professional roles at the yard.

An important part of the role is documentation. You are responsible for creating protocols, following up on inspections, and ensuring that completed work is documented correctly in systems and according to applicable routines.

Location: Muskö, Stockholm

Extent: Full-time

Working Hours: Mon-Thurs 7-16, Fri 7-13.30

We are looking for someone with a strong technical interest and practical aptitude. You likely have experience in assembly, construction, mechanics, bodywork, or similar technical professions. A background in marine operations, for example as a sailor, is highly meritorious but not a requirement.

You are meticulous, solution-oriented, and have a knack for seeing how things should fit and function. You thrive in a job where precision is important and where you combine practical work with administrative tasks. Computer proficiency is a prerequisite, and you feel comfortable working in digital systems and Excel.

Attitude and technical interest are at least as important as formal background.

• Technical background or equivalent practical experience

• Experience in assembly, mechanical work, or construction

• Ability to work independently according to instructions

• Good computer skills and experience in documentation/protocols

• Experience from marine operations or vessel work

• Background as a sailor or work close to vessels

• Experience from industrial assembly operations

• Experience from the automotive, bodywork, or construction sector

We will place great emphasis on personal suitability. 

Selection is ongoing, and the position may be filled before the application deadline.
