Member Spotlight and JOBS: Mustang Survival

Mustang Survival has several job openings! But who is Mustang Survival anyway?

Headquartered in Burnaby, BC, surrounded by fresh water, a big ocean, and all the weather the Pacific Northwest can throw at us. It's where Mustang Survival has been obsessing for the last 50 years on how to protect and enhance the performance of those that share our belief; that a life on the water is better than a life on land.

Their obsession has led them to build the Mustang Waterlife Studio. It's their HQ which includes; a science lab to test human physiology and material properties, a prototyping shop so that their design and engineering team can craft product concepts, a testing pool to evaluate new ideas, and a full manufacturing centre to carefully craft marine gear. It’s unique in this day and age to find a collective group of people so obsessed with every detail that they control every facet of the product experience. It allows them to truly challenge the status quo of how marine gear is designed and built.
