Are you a precision-driven leader with a passion for operational excellence? We are looking for a Fish Counting Team Lead to spearhead our stocking and transfer processes. Your mission is to ensure that every fish is accounted for with 100% accuracy while maintaining the highest standards of fish welfare and equipment care.

What You Will Do

  • Lead the Count: Oversee the transfer of fish from nursery to grow-out cages, ensuring we hit our stocking targets and budget numbers.
  • Quality Control: Manage counting speeds (max 650 fry/min) and conduct “Squeeze Tests” to ensure only the best quality stock (20g+ ABW) moves forward.
  • Asset Management: Take ownership of the Vaki machines, pumps, and generators. You will be responsible for weekly maintenance (greasing/cleaning) and ensuring equipment is handled with respect.
  • Animal Welfare: Act as the guardian of our stock—minimising stress during seining and ensuring zero escapes.
  • Team Leadership: Coordinate with Coxswains and Feeders while managing your team’s discipline, safety, and productivity.

BSc in Fisheries & Aquatic Science or Equivalent

Must have skills

  • Technical Skill: Ability to operate and troubleshoot Vaki counters and fish pumps.
