Start the Journey of Premium Scottish Salmon
Before our salmon is smoked, prepared and transformed into the high-quality products enjoyed by customers across the UK and beyond, it passes through our Primary Processing team.
We're looking for reliable, hardworking people to join our team in Buckie. This is a physically active, hands-on role where you'll play a vital part in preparing fresh salmon for the next stage of production.
You don't need previous seafood or factory experience. If you're dependable, willing to learn and enjoy practical work, we'll provide the training you need to succeed.
