Full job description

The Role

SAMS is a world leading marine science institute engaged in research, teaching and commercial ventures. Seaweed farming is a mature multi-billion-dollar industry, with some Asian countries producing tens of millions of tonnes a year. But although seaweed grows prolifically in Scottish waters, seaweed farming in the UK is only in its early stages as an emerging industry. SAMS actively operates an experimental seaweed cultivation site at Port A’Bhuiltin in the Lynn of Lorne off the island of Lismore. The farm is a cornerstone in delivering research and commercial projects investigating macroalgal cultivation and uses of farmed algae, alongside their co-cultivation with other extractive species such bivalve shellfish.

The successful candidate will be responsible for managing the day-to-day maintenance and development of SAMS seaweed farm site. The jobholder will take the leading role in planning and supporting the at sea elements of SAMS seaweed farm research, including seaweed farm infrastructure maintenance, monitoring of growth, and harvesting of crop. They will work to develop and improve the seaweed farm infrastructure to better support cultivation of seaweed lines and will be responsible for arranging the appropriate licensing and consenting of any activities.

Our Ideal Candidate

As a highly motivated and proactive individual with excellent communication and organisational skills, you will enjoy the challenge of practical at sea work. Strong organisational skills and forward planning are essential, prioritising work activities in accordance with a dynamic and changeable environment. You will have experience at working from small boats to deploy and maintaining aquaculture mooring infrastructure (e.g. mussel long lines or similar), with practical hands-on experience in handling lines and troubleshooting problems in the field. Power Level 2 Certification is desirable, although training will be offered if candidate lacks qualification.

Candidates would be ideally educated to BSc level in biology, mechanical engineering, environmental science or related discipline, or have equivalent work experience in a relevant technical role. A proactive approach to health and safety is essential, along with the ability to follow established procedures and contribute to a positive safety culture. You will be able to keep accurate records of monitoring data, and able to develop and maintain Standard Operating Procedures, Risk Assessments and Safe Systems of Work linked to the farms with support from other relevant staff.
