Open Application for Production Roles

Join the shipbuilders – 160 years of expertise in central Helsinki We are Helsinki Shipyard – a shipyard that has designed, built and delivered customised, high-quality passenger ships and icebreakers for extreme conditions since 1865. In 2025, we celebrate 160 years, and we are proud to continue our story in the heart of Helsinki, at the Hietalahti shipyard. At our shipyard, shipbuilding is done from start to finish under one roof – from design and hull assembly to outfitting, interiors and commissioning. This makes us a unique workplace: you can see your own work as part of the whole and follow a huge ship taking shape step by step in the shipyard hall. Our special expertise is in Arctic vessels, but we build everything from superyachts to multipurpose icebreakers. In fact, we have built around 50% of the world’s icebreakers – without us, navigating icy seas would be considerably more difficult.
