Project Manager

Land-Based (Closed Containment) Pilot Salmon Farm

Marine Harvest Canada is BC’s leading producer of farm-raised salmon. A key to the long-term

sustainability of our business is to adaptively manage our operations based on all available science and

utilization of the latest technologies in order to raise healthy salmon with a minimal environmental

footprint. Due to recent advancements in freshwater aquaculture systems and specific adaptations of these

systems by our company, MHC believes the time is now right to pilot a closed contained aquaculture

system. Although in concept phase at the moment, it is believed that this system will be land-based,

mixed freshwater and saltwater and 99% re-circulation.

To this end, we require a Project Manager to lead the development of this closed containment pilotproject. Reporting to the Managing Director and drawing on the in-house fish culture expertise of our

staff, you will be responsible for developing performance criteria; determining the rearing system design

and obtaining proposals from system suppliers; determining the appropriate site location and permitting

requirements; compiling production scenarios, developing cost (capital and operating) estimates and

related financial analyses; developing a preliminary constructions schedule; and developing a complete

formal proposal and presentation for consideration and approval to proceed with construction.

Qualifications include, but are not limited to:

  7-10 years demonstrated project management experience through employment or consultancy

roles, with strong preference for candidates who have such experience in the aquaculture field

  Project Management certification and a university degree in biology, business, or other relevant

field are strongly preferred

  Exceptional planning and project management skills and abilities

  Sound financial management skills and analytical abilities

  Superb communication skills, both written and verbal, including the ability to develop and deliverpresentations to groups

  Excellent interpersonal and collaborative skills, including negotiation and conflict resolutions

abilities and relationship building skills

  Self-motivated, able to work independently and make optimal use of subject matter experts
