Boat Mechanic Krossholmen Test Center

Bored?


Well isn’t that great. Because we got something pretty great going on at Volvo Penta Krossholmen at the moment and we need you and your expertise on this journey we have ahead of us.


Alright sounds good, you might think. But what if I am not bored? Well that’s not really a requirement. But you have to love challenges and you have to love problem solving because that is what we do. We solve stuff and we do it together.


So Who are we? You may be wondering…


We are a bunch of creative and positive colleagues who all believe that the key to success is team work and that we have a work environment where we encourage each other to take individual responsibility. Hmm, that seems like a pretty strange equation to me, you might think. Individual and team work at the same time. Well I thought so too before I started here. But that is actually how we work at Volvo Penta and our Marine Test center.


At Volvo Penta we always encourage people to be creative, because in a changing environment as the one we are now facing we can´t know everything.


Well yes of course there are few things you need to know. Some qualifications that probably will make the job easier so let us go these.


Qualifications


We are looking for a highly skilled boat mechanic who has great knowledge within boat drivelines as well as an excellent material knowledge. The position requires diesel engine know-how and preferably also experience of engine testing and assembly. In addition to this you have good understanding for handling a boat at sea, maybe you don’t have the licenses but if you are the right profile we will fix that part together. We also believe you have a Secondary School Engineer certificate or similar education and of course a good knowledge of English and Swedish.


But most of all you are interested in product development and enjoy putting the energy and ambition into the daily work.


Are we the perfect match?


Alright. It seems like a perfect role to me. However I don’t really match all that stuff you just listed. Well no one is perfect. If you match most of them that is probably enough.


At Volvo Penta we believe in the concept ‘hire for attitude and learn for skills’ because that is actually what counts in the end. If you are a person that is positive, persistent, flexible and thorough. Who believes that being service minded is one of the most important keys to success. Then we are sure that you will be a great benefit to us.


PS. you probably need to love to be creative as well. Because this is kind of what you’re gonna do in this role as a Prototype Boat Mechanic at Volo Penta Krossholmen.


Role summary


Volvo Penta Product Development Diesel Engines and electrical drivelines works both with advanced development engineering as well as with on-going enhancement of current products.

In other words you will:

Journey you said? You might think.


Well that’s all figuratively speaking. The position actually requires some minor travel but when we speak of a journey at Volvo Penta we literally mean your journey with us at a fantastic workplace where we focus on people and career development, we promise you that joining Volvo Penta and this position will be a great journey. New solutions and technologies are waiting for us around the corner and to face these challenges we have to be curious and eager to try.
