Scottish Salmon Company launches fresh recruitment drive at Marybank

Published Modified

The company is set to recruit 20 new Processing Operatives, 1 Quality Controller and 1 Hygiene Operative, as it prepares to re-open its gutting line in early autumn.

The line was mothballed earlier in the year but the plant has continued to produce fillet orders.

Due to an increase in the volume of fish being produced by SSC across the Western Isles and Highlands, it is now necessary to expand its processing facilities.

Stewart McLelland, Chief Executive Officer for the Scottish Salmon Company, said:

“We are delighted to be able to open applications for the new roles at the Marybank site and especially pleased to see that a number of previous employees have shown interest in returning to work with us.

“The number of positions available is a positive sign that the company is developing in the right direction and it is important for us to be able to include the local workforce in our success.

“Salmon farming can be a very rewarding career and I am very proud to say that we have many members of staff with over 20 years’ experience. Our plans to develop our business to meet the growing demand for top quality Scottish salmon worldwide will hopefully mean that many more young people can enter the industry and enjoy a fulfilling working life.”
