Chief Operating Officer – Aquaculture
Chief Operating Officer – Aquaculture This is a truly unique opportunity to join our business as it enters the next phase of our growth plan as we begin to scale up all of our aquaculture operations to a commercial footing. With operations in; North America, Scandinavia and Japan the business is already well established and producing high quality seafood. The business is passionate about harnessing the power of the natural world to help reverse some of the negative ecological and economic impacts we are seeing today. This has driven us to develop a system to help restore marine ecosystems, which had previously collapsed. Harvesting and then continuing to grow within our ranch systems allows the ecosystem to heal whilst also producing high quality gourmet seafood. Having recently received blue carbon credits we have now completed the first full life cycle of the business and are seeking a senior Operations lead professional to help enable the business scale up to commercial production across all of it’s sites. In addition to sharing our passion for sustainable and restorative aquaculture production you will also have a demonstrable track record of devising and implementing processes and procedures to enable the most efficient production outcomes whilst maintaining consistently high end quality standards. Whilst a knowledge of aquaculture and Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) would be a distinct advantage you may have gained your operations experience within an alternative but related field such as meat and poultry processing or have a very strong background within FMCG high volume manufacturing including a strong appreciation of continuous improvement and lean manufacturing tools and techniques. Previous experience of scaling up an operation would also be a distinct advantage. This is a senior level appointment reporting to the CEO and covering 5 processing sites across 3 different continents and as such we are seeking candidates who ideally have international experience and previous experience of managing sites across a vast geography and diverse languages and cultures. Whilst your initial focus will be on scaling up production to commercial levels you should also have experience across the wider manufacturing processes such as logistics, supply chain and procurement. Ideally you will have experience of collecting and interpreting data to shape and influence your decisions and enhance business performance. This role will require significant global travel whilst also managing teams across 5 international sites so we need an individual who is willing to engage in a lot of international travel, including spending time away from home and across all 5 sites, whilst also managing teams across multiple time zones. The potential growth and positive environmental impact of this business can not be overstated and as such we require a Chief Operating Officer who has the passion and drive to succeed in what will be a period of significant change. If you feel that you have the required skills and experience to be our Chief Operating Officer and share our passion for making a positive and significant environmental impact then in the first instance email your CV to Woodlands Recruitment Solutions or for further details contact Kieron Madden on +447787408844. ...
