As well as a competitive wage, after three months of employment, we offer a company paid benefits package.
Previous experience in an aquaculture or marine setting is an asset, but on- the-job training is provided. Farm Tech jobs at Creative Salmon are full-time, year-round; 5 days per week, 8 hours per day.
