Are you super-skilled and motivated, have you had technical training, and are you looking to join a young, dynamic company specializing in the development and production of patented fender systems for maritime transport? Then we are looking for you.
Since its start in 2012, Fender Innovations has gained an excellent reputation for developing and producing super-strong, lightweight fender systems of the highest quality. Fender Innovations has seen tremendous growth ever since and built up a large and diverse international customer base, ranging from superyacht manufacturers to the largest shipbuilders in the world, often with specialist and specific requests. Our fender systems are seamless and tailor-made, do not absorb any water, and can withstand temperatures from minus 30 to 130 degrees Celsius.
Our company has two large, innovative five-axis CNC milling machines. These allow us to produce fenders up to a maximum length of 18.5 metres in one piece. We can create almost any shape, size and dimension, and we relish a challenge. Our fender systems are used on a wide range of vessels, including lifeboats, fast crew suppliers, superyacht tenders, RIBs, patrol boats, interceptors, water taxis, amphibious craft, firefighting vessels and various kinds of workboats. We produce fenders for both new and existing vessels. Our fenders are used in over 28 countries worldwide.
Apart from developing and producing fender systems, we also install them and carry out any maintenance and repair work required. Our energetic and efficient service department was set up for this purpose.
We are looking for a driven CNC programmer/operator with a critical and quality-minded attitude to join our team.
