Are you a highly motivated individual looking to start or expand your aquaculture career? We are currently looking for a passionate and highly motivated individual to make a difference at the Company’s Seawater site at Loch Etive. The role is challenging, but ultimately very rewarding and can lead to a variety of fulfilling career progression opportunities.
Loch Etive is a Post Smolt loch consisting of 3 farms growing 2.6 million salmon to a size of 500g – 1200g which will then be transferred to our production sites within the Company.
These sites will operate on a 6 month growing cycle where the salmon will then be transferred out to sites and then Loch Etive will have a 4 week fallow period before receiving its next batch of fish to start the process again.
If you are ambitious and motivated and want to work with a likeminded team, then this is the role for you. This post is offered on a full time, permanent basis. The successful candidate will be required to work 40 hours per week, any 5 days out of 7.
