Technical Services Teamlead

About Us

Wajer Yachts is a proud Dutch family business specializing in luxury yacht building. Our yachts, ranging from 38 to 77 feet, are among the best in the industry. Although we have offices around the world, our locations in Heeg, Heerenveen, and Lemmer (Friesland) are the beating heart of the company. Here, a team of approximately 350 colleagues works on the development, design, construction, and testing of around 60-70 yachts per year. From our international service hubs (including the South of France, Ibiza, Mallorca, and Miami), we offer our customers unparalleled service through our unique Care program. Owning a Wajer means maximum boating pleasure: “Without a worry.” These three simple words form the foundation of our operations.
