Position Summary

Working in our Deep Cove facility in Blandford, NS as a key member of our plant operations team, we are looking for someone to join our live-lobster operations crew. The position will be focused on everything lobster: from receiving at the plant, grading, and packing for holding or shipping, to meeting fishers at the wharf to pickup the day’s fresh catch. The role offers an interesting opportunity to be a part of, and gain valuable experience in, Nova Scotia’s largest seafood sector.

Primary Accountabilities

Under direction of our Plant Operations Manager, our operations team members work collaboratively to support live-lobster processing and sales. Our live-lobster exports are the core of our business and the work that our crew does is vital to its success. As a member of our team, you will be required to:

• Receive shipments of live lobster at our plant from our trucks fresh back from the wharf.
• Sorting and grading live-lobster – separating the catch by size/weigh and making sure that what we keep is only the best quality.
• Processing and packing – making sure the lobster we ship are well-packed and healthy to make it to their destination (we export around the world!).
• Lobster holding – we have a large lobster pound with holding tanks for our high-quality product and the proper management and care of what we keep on-site is vital.
• Facility and system maintenance – keeping our plant running smooth and looking good!
