AddressWorking within the Fisheries and Aquaculture team of the Animal Science branch, a division of Agri-Science Queensland, you will be involved in research that supports the development and sustainable management of commercial and indigenous aquaculture businesses in Queensland. You will positively contribute to the aquaculture team through the provision of high quality, innovative and effective technical services for our aquaculture industries and communities.
What you will do
- Lead and manage a team of technicians at Bribie Island Research Centre to support RD&E projects for the sustainable development of aquaculture in Queensland.
- Provide expertise and advice for project leaders and other technicians on practical aspects of project design and implementation to achieve RD&E project outcomes.
- Keep abreast of emerging aquaculture technologies and processes relevant to RD&E projects and the key aquaculture sectors in Queensland (e.g. prawn, barramundi, oysters, red claw crayfish).
- Understand, design, construct, and operate a range of aquaculture culture systems for algae, live feeds, bivalves, crustaceans and fish.
- Support and monitor culture-systems' operations, maintenance, and animal welfare.
- Assist project leaders with data collection and collation, preparation of project reports, extension articles, media releases, and technical notes arising from project outputs.
- Assist project leaders with developing and maintaining effective relationships with industry and stakeholders and facilitate resources for field expeditions.
- Support project leaders with procurement of materials and resources.
- Manage technical and maintenance aspects of the BIRC laboratories, including safety inductions, chemical management, and equipment safety protocols and servicing schedules.
- Oversee WHS, including facility safety inspections, risk assessments, safe work practices, and standard operating procedures.
You will bring
- At least five-years' experience of relevant practical and technical experience, preferably in the aquaculture industry
- A minimum of a Diploma or Associate Diploma in Applied Science, Aquaculture, Fisheries Science or equivalent, but a relevant degree in science from a recognised tertiary institution, or equivalent academic qualification is desirable
