Details 
Creative Salmon is Canada’s first producer of certified organic farm-raised salmon, growing indigenous Pacific Chinook salmon at 4 farm sites in the waters of Clayoquot Sound near Tofino.
 
Farm Technicians are responsible for general farm operations such as net cleaning, basic maintenance, assistance during harvesting, feeding and care of fish, operating boats and equipment, as well as other tasks. As the majority of the work is performed outdoors, the ability to tolerate all weather conditions is important.
 
Because farming is a team effort, reliability and dependable attendance is mandatory. 
 
As well as a competitive wage, after three months of employment, we offer a company paid benefits package.
Crew transportation is provided from Ucluelet, Tofino and Long Beach communities.
Qualifications 
Previous experience in an aquaculture or marine setting is an asset, but on-the-job training is provided.
Jobs at Creative Salmon are full-time, year-round; 5 days per week, 8 hours per day.
We do not offer overnight on-site camp accommodation; we go home every night.
Local housing is the employee’s responsibility.
