Shell-volution Project Manager Role
We are looking to recruit an experienced Project Manager for the Shell-volution project. Working closely with the Project Director, the Project Manager will manage, administer and coordinate a consortium of stakeholders to achieve successful outcomes according to project milestones.

The project is aligned with the National Aquaculture Growth Strategy (to 2030) and the overall Scotland Food and Drink Strategy and is dedicated to enhancing scientific knowledge with the practical outcome of understanding and overcoming the barriers that are currently limiting the mussel industry in Scotland to increase annual production targets to 18,000 tonnes p.a. by 2038
