- Technical background in electronics, instrumentation, networking, mechatronics, marine biology, aquaculture.
- Comfortable working outdoors and on small vessels and floating structures, in variable weather conditions.
- Strong troubleshooting mindset and ability to work independently on site.
- Good customer-facing skills: clear communication, reliability, and a service-oriented attitude.
- Full UK driving licence; willingness to travel regularly across Scotland (including overnight stays).
- Right to work in the UK.
Nice to have
- Experience working on salmon farms or with aquaculture technology providers.
- Knowledge of underwater sensors (oxygen, temperature, salinity), weather stations

What we offer
