EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT / ENVIRONMENT OFFICER
This is a rare and exciting opportunity for the right candidate to join the small team based at the Harbour Office administering the beautiful port of Fowey.
The Fowey Harbour Commissioners are seeking a confident, outgoing and articulate candidate to support the Harbour Master and advise on environmental aspects of the port.
An independent, self-motivated individual with strong written and computer skills, the successful candidate will be expected to organise and co-ordinate the administrative aspects of the harbour. They will have strong communication skills and be comfortable engaging with all groups such as regulating authorities, stakeholders and the general public.
A self-starter, they will be equally as comfortable working alone to demanding deadlines or working as part of the harbour team. Life in a busy port is varied and the candidate must be flexible, dynamic and able to react to a changing situation.
The position encompasses a wide range of responsibilities which include:
• Environmental – including oil pollution prevention, estuary and waste management, dredging, planning and permissions. (Prior environmental knowledge and experience, whilst welcome is not essential and on-job training will be provided).
• Statutory Plans and compliance.
• General admin duties: issuing Harbour Notices, website administration, social media posts, document management and statistics.
• Event and meeting organisation. Preparing agendas, venues and minute taking.
Whilst this is an office-based appointment, there will be occasions when duties will require the candidate to go afloat in the harbour or travel to meetings. The position will be working weekdays with the number of hours flexible (currently 25 hours/week) depending on the candidate’s circumstances.
A competitive salary package accompanies the post and will reflect experience.
