• Produce clear audit reports, including non-conformities and follow-up actions
• Communicate findings professionally with clients and internal teams
• Manage audit schedules efficiently and meet reporting timelines
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of certification schemes and requirements
• Participate in witness audits, peer reviews, and internal calibration activities
• Support a strong safety and compliance culture in all activities

Qualifications

• A degree (or equivalent) in Food Science, Biology, Aquaculture, or similar
• 3+ years auditing experience, ideally within food supply chains or Chain of Custody schemes
• Lead Auditor qualification (or working towards it)
• Strong understanding of seafood processing, trading, or logistics
• Solid report writing and analytical skills
• Confidence working independently and managing your own schedule
• Excellent communication skills when working with clients and stakeholders
• Willingness to travel (both regionally and internationally)

• Nice to have:
• Experience with certification bodies or specific schemes (MSC, MarinTrust, CSI, etc.)
• Additional languages

Benefits

• We’re a global organisation focused on improving human and planet health, working across food, water, and life sciences.
• You’ll be part of a collaborative international team, doing work that genuinely matters — with the flexibility to work remotely while staying connected to a global network.
