This is a position for a mechanically biased maintenance technician at our land-based fish farm in West Hants.
Working on our Centre Burlington fish farm you will be conducting routine plant maintenance and breakdown repairs.

As such the fish are entirely reliant on our technology to survive – all day, every day. Many thousands of fish will depend on your reliability, knowledge, and attention to detail for their welfare.

As our process is entirely new technology, you will also be expected to get involved with plant upgrades and modifications as the need arises.

· Flexibility, you will sometimes be helping with work outside your main skill set and occasionally be required for overtime in emergencies for the welfare of the fish.

· Communication skills. You will be working closely with a range of disciplines and capabilities sometimes in stressful circumstances. Your ability to remain calm and properly communicate is critical.
