The Role: You will oversee four sites within the production area and manage a significant team at Loch Melfort, as well as co-ordinating with feed partners, infrastructure contractors, divers, shipping vessels and aquaculture stakeholders and fisheries trusts to oversee responsible operations in our farm management area within the loch. You will be part of the senior leadership team at Kames, meeting regularly with our production, operations and health managers, playing an integral role in our production and strategy. Why Kames? Kames is a unique place to work. We are the leading trout producer in the UK and the only farm to grow trout in the sea, which we’ve pioneered for over 50 years. We’re passionate about the exceptional quality of our fish and the successful applicant would need to be serious about working hard to achieve our high standards of husbandry and welfare. We are also Scotland’s oldest family fish farm and have a long-standing record of innovation, connection to academia and education, a belief in valuing people and knowledge alongside technology, and caring for our environment and our community. This is not just our workplace; it’s our home. Everyone in our team obtains a broad range of experience and a holistic understanding of fish husbandry through our fully vertically integrated farm, giving them a level of skill and expertise that is hard to achieve in a bigger farm setting, as well as the opportunity to be a valued voice at the table. Kames won Best Aquaculture Company in the UK in 2022 and Best Animal Welfare in 2023 at the industry awards, and our core principles of quality, sustainability and community underpin both our everyday working life and our future strategy.
