Careers
People and culture
In our work, every little detail counts, from start to finish. Dedicated and competent employees are fundamental; likewise are robust management systems and procedures to manage risk and assessment of all relevant aspects of our operations.
Being part of the solution
Choosing seafood for a healthy future as a career is a lifestyle. It is based on values. We farm fish, live animals whom we care for. We supply healthy, climate-friendly seafood contributing to healthy lives and a healthy planet. We have high ambitions, and we will improve further to be better.
We are in many countries, and most employees in Cermaq live in rural areas. Many have their workdays outdoors in wild and beautiful nature.
Whatever our role in Cermaq is, we are here for the same reason: seafood for a healthy future.
