Gro Aqua helps fish farmers grow healthy fish, on sea sites and on land. We design and supply the systems that keep a modern farm running: feed barges, feeders and cameras, oxygen generation and water treatment, fish handling, and the digital monitoring that ties it all together. From offices in Inverness, Fort William and Stornoway, as well as Norway and the Faroe Islands, we work with the biggest names in aquaculture.

You will work across the full range of installations we look after, aquaculture, commercial and industrial.
The work is a mix of new installation, planned maintenance, and inspection and testing. One week it is fixed wire installation on a commercial site, the next it is an EICR or fault finding on a farm. You will not do the same job twice in a fortnight.
Fish farm experience is useful but not essential, most electricians who join us have never worked on one. What matters is that you can walk onto an unfamiliar installation and work out what is going on.
What you will be doing- Install fixed wire circuits in aquaculture and industrial premises, with the right circuit protection and enclosure methods.

- Carry out PAT, the testing of portable appliances.
- Maintain electrical circuits and fixtures.
