Are you a highly motivated individual looking to step into management and progress within your aquaculture career? We have an exciting opportunity for an Assistant Farm Manager to join the Company’s Wester Ross Seawater sites at Ardmair & Corry, near Ullapool. The role is challenging, but ultimately very rewarding and can lead to a variety of fulfilling career progression opportunities.
At the Company’s Wester Ross seawater sites we focus on the traditional ways of operating; using low levels of mechanisation, often by hand, using traditional skills and natural methods, yet we don't ignore the benefits of science and innovation, drawing upon both to optimise our welfare and our operations with the aim of producing an exceptional salmon.
The position is perfect for individuals or those with families; looking to settle or remain in the Scottish highlands. An area known for its natural beauty both on land and at sea. Ullapool and the local villages that surround it are ideal locations for those who want to explore the highlands or others who want a more rural lifestyle.
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. Accommodation support available.
