Seafood Auditor, EU (Full-Time)

We’re looking for an experienced Seafood Auditor to join our team on a full-time basis.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll be out working with processors, suppliers, and facilities - making sure products are responsibly sourced, traceable, and meet recognised certification standards. You’ll play a key role in protecting product integrity and helping clients improve how they operate.

If you enjoy working independently, travelling, and applying technical expertise in real-world environments - this could be a great fit.

Responsibilities

• Plan and deliver Chain of Custody audits across schemes such as MSC, ASC, MarinTrust, GLOBALG.A.P. and CSI
• Assess client operations for compliance, identifying risks and areas for improvement
• Produce clear audit reports, including non-conformities and follow-up actions
• Communicate findings professionally with clients and internal teams
• Manage audit schedules efficiently and meet reporting timelines
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of certification schemes and requirements
• Participate in witness audits, peer reviews, and internal calibration activities
• Support a strong safety and compliance culture in all activities

Qualifications

We’re looking for someone who brings:

• A degree (or equivalent) in Food Science, Biology, Aquaculture, or similar
• 3+ years auditing experience, ideally within food supply chains or Chain of Custody schemes
• Lead Auditor qualification (or working towards it)
• Strong understanding of seafood processing, trading, or logistics
• Solid report writing and analytical skills
• Confidence working independently and managing your own schedule
• Excellent communication skills when working with clients and stakeholders
• Willingness to travel (both regionally and internationally)

Nice to have:

• Experience with certification bodies or specific schemes (MSC, MarinTrust, CSI, etc.)
• Additional languages

Why join us?

We’re a global organisation focused on improving human and planet health, working across food, water, and life sciences. You’ll be part of a collaborative international team, doing work that genuinely matters — with the flexibility to work remotely while staying connected to a global network.
