Created by members, run for members.
Established in 1950, Geraldton Fishermen’s Co-operative is 100% owned by fishermen and license holders supplying the Co-operative and is operated for the benefit of members and their communities.
GFC specialises in the processing and exporting of Western Rock Lobster. With approximately 70 per cent of Western Australia’s commercial rock lobster catch flowing through its supply chain, GFC is the world’s largest rock lobster processor and is a significant contributor to the WA economy.
GFC supports fishers, employees, license holders, and communities along a thousand kilometres of WA’s coastline.
Position Overview
We are currently seeking to establish a new permanent Water Quality monitoring team and as a result, have several vacancies available.
This position exists to help maximise returns to GFC's members by maintaining round-the-clock management of recirculating seawater holding systems.

Duties include:
- Undertaking hands-on water sampling and analysis.
- Dashboarding and reporting results to key stakeholders with recommendations of any actions required to maintain system performance.
- Undertake corrective actions to out of specification system parameters.
- Monitor physical system performance through logging and tracking gauge readings.
- Assisting in the maintenance of online sensors and control systems.
- Maintain timely input and integrity of data, utilising current internal systems.
- Assist in animal husbandry.
- Oversight of Water Quality Technicians.
The Roster
Due to our need for 24/7 coverage, it is anticipated that this team will operate on a rotating roster. This will include day shifts and night shifts on a 8 days on, 6 day off rotating pattern.
