Robotics Fleet Technician – Vancouver, Canada
Hullbot is an Australian robotics company building autonomous robots that operate underwater on ship hulls, helping vessels reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
Our technology is already deployed across Australia, the US and Mexico, and we’re now establishing our next North American operational base in Vancouver.
We’re looking for someone based in the Vancouver area to deploy and operate our robots on commercial vessels and become part of our growing global operations team.
What you’ll do
- Deploy and recover autonomous marine robots on vessels
- Work hands-on with the robots, including direct operation when required
- Prepare equipment and ensure mission readiness
- Monitor and support live robotic missions
- Work alongside Hullbot’s remote operations / TeleOps teams
- Produce mission reports, including photos and robot performance reports
- Perform field checks and basic troubleshooting
- Help maintain and prepare the local robotic fleet between missions
- Work around ports, vessels and some seriously impressive ships
- Help us establish and scale our operations in Vancouver and across North America
- You’ll be trained properly.
You do not need to already be a robotics expert.
Hullbot already has established operations across North America and a global operations team supporting deployments around the clock.
You’ll receive a structured onboarding and training program, combining hands-on training with our robots and remote training from experienced Hullbot team members.
Once you're trained, you won't be on your own. You'll have ongoing support from Hullbot people around the world, including our teams in Australia, Seattle and Mexico, as well as our remote TeleOps capability.
You’ll be joining a global team learning every day how to deploy increasingly autonomous robotic systems at scale.
Who are we looking for?
Someone technical, hands-on, curious, dependable and genuinely excited by technology.
Experience with robotics, drones, ROVs, marine operations, electronics, mechanics, engineering or technical field work is great, but attitude and practical ability matter just as much.
You’ll need to:
- Be based in or around Vancouver, BC
- Be legally able to work in Canada
- Communicate comfortably in English
- Be available for night operations — ships don't work 9–5
- Be able to travel when missions require it. Hullbot covers travel expenses
- Be comfortable working around water, ports and vessels
If you see an autonomous robot crawling around the underwater hull of a ship and your first reaction is:
“I want to work with that.”
We want to hear from you.
When applying, tell us where you're based, what technical or hands-on experience you have, and whether you can work nights and travel.
A +25% loading applies to night-shift hours between 8:00 PM and 6:00 AM.
NOTE : You could start as soon as Sept 20th, 2026. Chat with us and will organise a trial as soon as next week.
