Life At Tassal

Heidi always dreamt of a career in fisheries and aquaculture and kicked that dream off back in 2009 when she secured a role working with Tassal as a lab technician in our QA lab at Huonville. Eager to learn and connect across our diverse business sectors, Heidi has held roles with various departments including a stint in the logistics team before securing a role responsible for the implementation of third-party sustainability certifications across the business, giving her an extensive understanding of both the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) and Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) standards and their compliance requirements.

Tim arrived at the company with a drive and vision beyond his years and rose through the ranks at a young age, making the most of the career opportunities Tassal offered.  Starting out in Marine Operations, Tim quickly slotted into a management role, completing not only his Master 4 skippers ticket but also qualifications in business management. During his fourteen years with the company Tim has also worked with the Environment and Sustainability team as well as the Engineering division.

Aidan joined Tassal in October 2017 starting as a Maintenance Officer at our Channel Marine site at Electrona and within two years Aidan moved into his current role as the Maintenance Manager through his hard work and dedication to his role at Tassal. Aidan’s favourite thing about his job is that every day is a little different with lots of variety. A Typical day for Aidan involves fixing boats, generators, barges, compressors, pumps and keeping the Channel site running! When Aidan first moved to Tassie from WA fish farming was a foreign concept until one day when Aidan was driving a tractor in the Huon Valley and saw a salmon pen for the first time and was instantly intrigued about the industry, and the rest is history!

Gavin began his career with Tassal in January 2010 as a casual Diver at our Channel marine site, quickly moving into a full-time position within the team in a month. Just under two years later Gavin was promoted to Dive Team Leader after showing that he is a passionate and proven Diver who can inspire others to follow. Gavin loves the diversity of the role and getting to work with a wide variety of people. A typical day for Gavin could involve being called to rescue a boat, overseeing daily operations of his team, or implementing strategy to improve day to day operations. Gavin has been a Diver for around 20 years, prior to starting his career at Tassal Gavin was working as a Diver in Stewart Island, New Zealand. Gavin joined Tassal not long after relocating to Tasmania and has been part of the Tassal family ever since!
