Aquaculture Hatchery Technician (Tilapia/Catfish)

It’s not just water and fish; it’s a living ecosystem under your watch. As a Hatchery Technician, you’ll manage the delicate choreography of spawning, incubation, and fry nursing for a fast-scaling tilapia and catfish operation just outside Nairobi. Every parameter matters: oxygen balance, pH stability, feed schedules, and tight biosecurity that keeps disease at bay.

You’ll work hands-on across broodstock tanks, incubators, and nursing systems, balancing precision with hustle. The hatchery runs on data and discipline; logs, test kits, and dashboards are as essential as your instincts. Our client prides itself on consistent survival rates and traceable, audit-ready records, so attention to detail isn’t optional; it’s the culture.

Expect rotational shifts, on-site meals, and real ownership of results. Suppose you’ve ever wanted to see your technical skill literally come to life in thousands of thriving fry. In that case, this role provides a clear growth path toward Hatchery Supervisor and, ultimately, Aquaculture Manager.
