Administration Assistant             

£15k + bonus + contributory pension

The European Marine Energy Centre, based in Stromness, was established in 2003 to provide the developers of wave and tidal energy devices with the world’s first purpose built test facility.  The continued international growth of interest in this potential new energy source is being matched by increased demand for EMEC’s services and therefore, further staff are being sought to join the present small team.  The post will provide the appointee with the opportunity to make a contribution to the marine renewables industry through the groundbreaking work about to be undertaken.

The successful applicant will support the Administrator and other members of staff by providing key administrative services to the organisation.   They will also provide ‘front of house’ services for visitors to EMEC and arrange travel and accommodation for staff members.

This is a new post and the hours worked can be tailored to suit the successful applicant. 

The closing date for applications is 12.00noon on Monday 30 March with initial interviews planned for 3 April 2009.
