Advances a safe workplace culture and the ongoing development of the Health, Safety & Wellbeing journey Active oversight of the provisioning, crewing and maintenance of the vessel Providing leadership to the officers and crew to advance Sanfords engagement and cultural development Coordinating catch plans, quota usage and reporting Ensuring the vessel achieves the required product quality outcomes, and advances value adding product initiatives Compliance to maritime and fisheries related regulations / acts (amongst others) Financial responsibility for the vessels entire operation Effective use of Sanford and contractor resources to enable an efficient vessel operation About the person:
Ideally you will have a marine / fishing background and/or operational management of a diverse business with robust compliance processes. Solid project management experience along with a solution focused approach are the key to being successful in this role. Your varied background, broad range of skills and most importantly the right attitude will hold you in good stead. Influential leadership to build effective relationships, and resilience to deal with unforeseen events are critical.
