APEM is seeking a high calibre and motivated fisheries scientist to join our growing fisheries engineering team to be located in our head office in Stockport.
We are seeking applicants at Consultant or Senior Consultant grades who are appropriately qualified with specialist fisheries science knowledge and skills to assist with the management and technical consultancy of projects in the area of fisheries engineering. APEM’s fisheries engineering team are currently investigating fish entrainment/impingement, intake screening, cooling water, hydropower assessment including fish injury, turbine modelling and fish passage. Our current fisheries engineering project portfolio spans fresh, transitional and coastal waters from large estuarine energy projects to freshwater potable intakes. Fisheries scientists with either freshwater or marine experience will therefore be considered for the role. Applicants will have a strong fisheries science background with demonstrable experience of its application to the fisheries engineering sector for the senior grade or a willingness to learn for the consultant grade. Applicants with proven experience in fisheries science and one of our specialist fisheries engineering areas as detailed above will be preferred for the senior grade.
Depending on the grade applied for we would anticipate candidates to have a minimum of an MSc or PhD or the equivalent professional experience, and in excess of 2 years relevant fisheries experience. Excellent report writing skills are essential for this role and experience of dealing with corporate sector clients is preferred. You will be required to work independently as well as with project teams drawn from our four regional offices. Thus the ability to communicate effectively and a sense of pride in and responsibility for your work is paramount. At the senior consultant grade you should be familiar with key individuals in the fisheries engineering field and have a track record of working with corporate sector clients at the highest level. A proven ability to organise work schedules, to meet tight deadlines and to deliver projects within budget will be essential for achieving success in the senior consultant grade role. The position is primarily office-based although site visits, fieldwork and client meetings will be required and a full driving licence is therefore essential.
