BC Shellfish Growers Association

Coastal Shellfish Corporation is undertaking a major expansion of its shellfish farms, operating in the Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia. Infrastructure development will be underway in late 2010, with technical training provided to new farming staff soon afterwards. As shellfish stocks increase, technical support will be required to optimize husbandry, inventory control and harvest planning, on an ongoing basis. The company is looking for a senior-level Technical Manager to be based in Prince Rupert, BC. Reporting to the CEO, this position will require periodic travel to farm locations on the central and north coast, including Bella Bella, Hartley Bay, Metlakatla and Haida Gwaii.

The Technical Manager for Coastal Shellfish will have a strong, hands-on background in shellfish farming, the ability to mentor farm site managers, and the capacity to deliver a practical training program under field conditions. Only candidates with direct experience in shellfish farming should apply.

Join our team of professionals at Coastal Shellfish for an exciting and challenging opportunity.

Applications will be accepted until September 30, 2010:
