Experienced Shellfish/Hatchery Technician
At SeaGen, we're building better ways to produce marine seed — reliably, efficiently and at the scale our customers and partners need.
We believe healthy, productive oceans can provide sustainable food, support thriving marine ecosystems and create recent opportunities for communities and industry.
Our Phillip Island facility supports shellfish farmers across Victoria and NSW, while also contributing to research and innovation across the Southern Ocean.
It's a hands‐on, growing business. We're still building the systems, technology and team that will take SeaGen to the next level — and we're looking for someone who wants to be part of that journey.
About the role
We're looking for an Experienced Shellfish / Hatchery Technician to join our Phillip Island team.
You'll lead Sydney Rock and Triploid Pacific Oyster larval runs and support our nursery operations. You'll also have opportunities to help expand production into other shellfish, marine invertebrates and seaweeds.
This is a role for someone who enjoys getting things done, solving problems and making things better.




Precision and consistency — every day
Hatchery and live-animal production
Troubleshooting and problem solving
Working independently and as part of a small team
Continuous improvement and new technology
The practical realities of working in a growing business
Shellfish experience is highly valued, but it's not the only thing we're looking for.
If you have strong transferable skills, technical capability and the motivation to learn, we'd love to hear from you.
Why SeaGen?
You'll be joining a young business with a big ocean-focused mission, where your work can have a real and immediate impact.
And when you're not in the hatchery? There are beaches, boats, wildlife and a close-knit island community right outside the door.
If you like the idea of building something different and making a difference along the way, this could be your next move.
We're more interested in who you are, what you can do and where you want to go than a perfectly polished application.
