Fisheries looking to hook seasonal officers in Limerick
INLAND Fisheries Ireland (IFI) has launched a recruitment drive to hire 36 seasonal fisheries officers in Limerick.
IFI is the state agency responsible for the protection, conservation, development and promotion of freshwater fish, habitats and sea angling,
The six-month posts are divided across seven river basin districts, covering fifteen counties including Limerick with recruitment getting underway immediately.
Seasonal Fisheries Officers from Limerick will join teams over the summer months to help protect, conserve and develop fisheries resources working in and around Ireland’s lakes, rivers and coastlines.
Inland Fisheries Ireland is looking for candidates for both protection and development roles and they will play a crucial part in the agency’s plans for 2023, according to its HR Director, Róisín Bradley.
“As an environmental agency, enforcement, protection and development are a big focus for us. Our teams undertake over 30,000 patrols around the clock every year, including patrols by foot, e-bike, vehicle and boat,” Ms Bradley added.
IFI plans to launch a second recruitment drive this year for seasonal research assistants.
