Peterhead, United Kingdom Scottish Government Full time

Overview:
The Marine Directorate manages Scotland’s marine and freshwater environments, dealing with issues such as sea fisheries, marine litter, offshore renewables and aquaculture. We have more than 700 staff around Scotland including scientists, mariners, enforcement officers, policy specialists, finance specialists and economists.

Operations currently have our own fleet of two aircraft, three Marine Protection vessels, two inshore protection vessels and two Marine Research vessels making us an exciting, unique and dynamic working environment.

Marine Directorate Operations are responsible for deterring and detecting illegal activities through effective compliance and enforcement arrangements. We employ Marine staff that are responsible for the crewing of Marine Scotland Compliance's three Marine Protection vessels and Coastal Inspection staff, who make up the Sea Fisheries Inspectorate. The Coastal staff are located at 18 Fishery Offices around the coast of Scotland and at the Registration of Buyers and Sellers (RBS) Unit, which is based in Aberdeen. The UK Fisheries Monitoring Centre is based in Victoria Quay, Edinburgh.

As Operations Officer, you contribute to the effective delivery in the District of the enforcement, monitoring and surveillance task in relation to sea fisheries legislation and other marine related legislation under the powers given to British Sea-Fishery Officers, Marine Enforcement Officer and any other powers assigned to the post. You will also contribute to the team to monitor compliance under instruction from the Senior Operations officer.

You will ensure that full use is made of available analytical information, along with the organisation of data from a variety of sources to achieve the objectives of the Operating Model and local Business Plan.

A part of your responsibility as an Operation Officer will be to participate and, under the guidance of the Senior Operations officer, contribute to investigations arising from breaches of Marine Licencing legislation, working closely with MS LOT and ESOA. You will be working in a skilled and experienced team who will guide you through the processes to acquire the knowledge in Marine Licence Compliance.

Officers based at our coastal locations may conduct inspections onshore in factories and on board fishing vessels whilst in harbour. Inspections of fish and documentation are conducted at the premises of fish buyers and sellers as well as in vehicles used to transport fisheries products. Inspections are conducted 24/7 in-line with the operations of the industry and officers can expect to undertake some of their duties in unsocial hours and at weekends.

Coastal based Fishery Officers may also have the opportunity to undertake sea-going duties both in offshore and inshore operations.

Operations Officers are warranted British Sea Fishery Officers (BSFOs) working under the supervision of Senior Officers. As warranted officers (following satisfactory completion of the first 9 months' service and completion of our BSFO training programme) they will be required to carry out enforcement duties.

**Peterhead is the only Coastal office in Scotland to operate a permanent night shift. Officers work a fixed shift pattern covering an average of 37 hours per week. (Sunday - Friday) Officers who partake in the permanent night **shift are **entitled to a 21% pensionable allowance.**
