Stabicraft Marine is an award-winning, globally recognised designer and manufacturer of aluminium boats based in Invercargill. Our boats are trusted around the world for their innovation, quality, and performance – and it all starts with great design.

We’re on the hunt for a Design Engineer who’s passionate about creating industry-leading products and ready to help shape the next generation of Stabicraft boats.

What you'll be doing:

In this exciting and varied role, you’ll be involved in the full product development journey – from initial sketch and mock-up, through to 3D CAD modelling, prototyping, testing, and refinement. You’ll be hands-on with real projects, working on designs that go from concept to water faster than you might expect.

Every day is different – one day you could be shaping hull geometry, the next refining a console layout or improving manufacturability. As with any role, there’s detail work too but it’s all part of turning bold ideas into world-class boats.

What we’re looking for:

We’re after someone who brings creativity, attention to detail, and a passion for making things better. You'll ideally have:

  • 2–3 years’ experience in a design or engineering role
  • Experience with 3D parametric CAD software (preferably Autodesk Inventor)
  • A drive for continuous improvement and high-quality outcomes
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach
  • A good sense of humour and a great attitude
  • A love of boating, outdoor adventures, or just making cool stuff

Whether you're a budding design engineer or someone with hands-on experience looking to shift into a more creative role, we want to hear from you.

Why Stabicraft?

We’re not your average manufacturer. Our design team brings together experience in industrial design, transport, architecture and trades. We’re a passionate crew who take pride in pushing boundaries, challenging norms, and building boats that help people Adventure with Confidence.

At Stabicraft, you’ll enjoy:

  • A supportive environment for professional growth and development
  • A collaborative and fun team culture
  • The chance to see your ideas come to life – fast
  • Working on globally renowned products that lead the market
