Address About Blue Economy CRC
The Blue Economy CRC (BE CRC) is an independent not-for-profit organisation and is a Cooperative Research Centre under the Australian Government's CRC Program. The BE CRC brings together 45 industry, government, and research partners from ten countries with expertise in aquaculture, marine renewable energy, and maritime engineering to address the challenges of offshore food and energy production.
About the Role
Preferably based in Hobart, the Project Manager Blue Policy and Planning will play a key role in a series of crucial projects being undertaken by the BE CRC, including the Futures of Seafood Project, Decarbonisation of Aquaculture Project and the portfolio of work related to the establishment and operation of R&D activities in Blue Economy Zone(s).
Reporting to the Director of Blue Policy and Planning, this is an incredible opportunity to work autonomously and make the role your own. You will work closely with strategic partners contributing to the implementation of activities and reporting associated with a portfolio of Blue Economy CRC Memorandums of Understanding.

With funding already secured for these flagship projects, your role will be to work with the Director to implement the scope of work and deliver on stated outcomes.
