Aquaculture Technical Scheme Lead

Are you passionate about aquaculture, seafood and certification?

This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of globally recognised certification schemes such as MarinTrust, Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) and GLOBALG.A.P., helping shape the future of responsible aquaculture and seafood production worldwide.

As Technical Scheme Lead, you'll provide technical oversight and certification support across NSF's Aquaculture & Seafood programmes, working closely with auditors, clients, accreditation bodies and scheme owners around the world. You'll play a key role in technical governance, certification decisions, auditor competence and scheme performance, helping ensure programmes are delivered consistently and in line with accreditation requirements.

This could be a great fit for experienced aquaculture and seafood auditors looking to move into a broader technical leadership role, while remaining closely connected to the industry. You don't need to have worked for a Certification Body previously. If you've worked with the relevant schemes and meet the required qualifications and experience, including through internal auditing or compliance roles, we'd love to hear from you.

 

What We Offer:

• Remote working: Work from home, with support from a collaborative UK-based and global team.

• Global impact: Take ownership of internationally recognised schemes, work with stakeholders around the world, and help shape the future direction of aquaculture and seafood certification programmes.

• Balanced travel: Remain connected to the industry through international and regional travel, while benefiting from significantly less travel than many full-time auditing roles.

• Comprehensive benefits package: Health cover, death-in-service benefit, company sick pay scheme and income protection.

• Wellbeing support: Access to our Employee Assistance Programme and an annual paid Mental Wellness Day.

• Volunteering time: Paid time off to support causes you care about.
