Field Technician 2025

Our 2024 Technicians, Hayden & Amelia, dropping off some tuna heads they collected from Massachusetts. The smaller tuna head is a tropical tuna, not an Atlantic bluefin tuna. Amelia can be seen almost kissing a tropical tuna head, while Hayden is laughing with her.

We are hiring 2 Field Technicians onto the Tuna Team this year. These positions are based in Portland, Maine. The general responsibilities of our Field Technicians are to collect Atlantic bluefin tuna heads from local dealers ranging from Maine to Massachusetts, participate in the biological sampling process, travel to local Atlantic bluefin tuna tournaments if needed, and perform various lab tasks.

Applications for these positions CLOSED on March 4th, 2025.
