About the role
You will be a vital part of the crew, learning under the Baader Technician and Factory Engineers about the maintenance of the Baader fish processing machinery and all fish processing equipment onboard our modern fleet of deep-sea factory trawlers.
As part of the role, you will assist the Baader Technician with repairing and maintaining the mechanical systems of the Baader fish processing machines; complete daily job tasks to ensure the factory is kept running at optimal levels; and gain an understanding of the adjustments required to ensure that the desired conversion factors are being successfully achieved.
Work towards gaining a Level 4 Apprenticeship in Seafood Processing – Factory Trawler Technician over an 18-24 month period, with full training and on-the-job support.
You would be at sea for 4-6 weeks at a time, which means you will be working every day during the trip. You will be scheduled to one trip on, one trip off – and while you're at home relaxing on your trip off, you'll still be fully paid.
Conditions can be challenging so being fit and healthy is a must. While onboard, you will have a comfortable cabin with an ensuite, and most of our fleet have an onboard gym, WIFI, and plenty of space to relax in your downtime.
