Marine Directorate are currently recruiting for the role of Seaman 1A to work on board Marine Scotland vessels.

Marine Directorate is the lead marine management organisation in Scotland. It was established in April 2009 as a Directorate of the Scottish Government (SG), to integrate core marine functions involving scientific research, compliance monitoring, policy and management of Scotland's seas.

The Marine Patrol Vessels are involved in monitoring compliance with International, UK and National rules and regulations of licensed activities in the marine environment around Scotland out to 200 miles and beyond when required. This includes enforcing UK, EU and International fisheries laws and regulations. This is intended to assist the conservation of fish stocks and in creating the conditions necessary for the existence of a modern and sustainable sea fishing industry.

The Marine Research Vessels’ main function is to ensure efficient and effective provision at sea to support the work of the scientific programme within Marine Scotland. Information gathered on research cruises is essential to the success of the scientific programme. To ensure this success both Marine Research Vessels are fitted with a wide range of deployment and recovery facilities for fishing gear and equipment, scientific and environmental sensors, and data gathering systems.

The Marine Protection Vessels are Minna, Jura and Hirta. Minna is 47 metres in length and both Jura and Hirta are 84 metres in length. These vessels carry out patrols which normally last 21 days. Marine Scotland Compliance also operate a number of smaller independent craft within the inshore protection programme. MRV Alba Na Mara and MRV Scotia are 27 metres and 69 metres in length respectively. Research cruises vary in length, but generally are no more than 22 days. All vessels work double crewing allowing for trip on/trip off rostering.

As a Seaman you will be based on our compliance and science vessels however, it is expected that, if successful, you will also work on the scientific vessels as well as the smaller compliance RIBs used as part of the Inshore Protection Programme.

You will be based onboard any of the Marine Scotland Compliance or Science vessels where you will be part of a team responsible to the First Officer onboard. The role will follow a marine working pattern which in general is 3 weeks on/off.

The vessels work mainly in Scottish waters using mainly Aberdeen and Glasgow as their turn around locations. If based onboard either of the Science vessels you will be also be an active member of the deck team assisting with all methods of fishing equipment and the science operations.
