About the role

We are looking for a dedicated Fish Health Consultant / Senior Advisor!

Åkerblå Group AS is a leading provider of services to the aquaculture industry, public sector, research and educational institutions, and other organizations. As a forward-looking and growing company with an international focus, we are recognized as one of the aquaculture industry's top interdisciplinary expertise centers.

Our broad expertise spans fish health, biology, oceanography, technical services, and interdisciplinary advisory services. With around 380 employees across 24 offices along the Norwegian coastline and in several other countries, our head office is located in Frøya, where our journey began.

We collaborate with the industry to promote a healthy marine environment under our motto: safe - fresh - smart. Committed to high-quality services, we hold numerous accreditations in our specialist fields, contributing to knowledge-based marine health and sustainable ocean resource management.

Acquired by DNV in 2023, we continue to invest in growth and sustainable ocean health.

Åkerblå AS is experiencing strong growth, and we therefore want to strengthen our fish health team in Møre og Romsdal. Here you will be able to contribute actively to the industry, with a lot of exciting activity in the region.

Your key tasks may consist of fish health follow-up at e.g. food fish and hatcheries, in addition to follow-up of delousing, vaccination, hygiene checks and other fish health-related work. Tasks will also be adapted based on your experience, skills and motivation, so follow-up of customers, organization and management of internal and external projects may also be relevant for the right candidate. At Åkerblå, we place great emphasis on professional development. As a new employee, you will participate in our onboarding program, which will help ensure you a safe and good start.

What we offer

We offer a 100% permanent position at Norway's largest professional environment in fish health. We have competitive salary conditions and good pension and insurance schemes. Åkerblå is a company in strong growth, with great development opportunities. You will be part of a competence environment where good discussions and professional support are an important part of everyday life. With us, professional integrity is very strong and as an external consultant, you will never experience being left with a decision alone. With us, you get a varied working day with a few days in the field and some in the office. You will be part of our fish health team that serves customers in the central region of Norway, and our activity is mainly related to the farming of salmon, cleaner fish, cod and other marine species.
