Organisation Details


The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) is an executive non-departmental public body of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.


Driven by government's aim for clean, healthy, safe, productive and biologically diverse oceans and seas, MMO's purpose is to protect and enhance our precious marine environment, and support UK economic growth by enabling sustainable marine activities and development.

We are the independent regulator for England's seas, professionally delivering service-focussed outcomes for our customers.


We are a team of around 400 people and combine our Newcastle upon Tyne and London operations with a local presence around the English coastline in Brixham, Beverley, Harwich, Hastings, King's Lynn, Lowestoft, North Shields, Hayle, Plymouth, Poole, Portsmouth, Preston, Scarborough, Shoreham and Whitehaven.

Job description


This is a really exciting time to join the MMO as we become an independent coastal state, embedding new repatriated functions and services with an increased focus on the protection and enhancing of the marine environment.

The role of Senior Marine Officer is a pivotal position within the South West area.

The South West Team is represented by two offices (Hayle and Plymouth) and covers a large stretch or coastline around Cornwall, Devon and the Isles of Scilly.


The primary role of a Senior Marine Officer (SMO) is to manage a team of Marine Officers (MOs) based at Plymouth.

They will work with our stakeholders to ensure compliance with a raft of marine environmental legislation.


Managing a team of Marine Officers, working closely with marine stakeholders, carrying out inspections, collecting data and information and giving advice and guidance.

This is a varied role and will involve both desk work and work outside of the office.

In addition to the shore-based aspects of this role, you may have opportunity to spend some periods of time conducting inspections of fishing vessels at sea as part of a boarding team based on a fisheries patrol vessel (this is currently an optional part of the role).


You will be responsible for the planning of inspection, monitoring and enforcement activities using risk profiles, intelligence, and the MMO's Compliance Enforcement Strategy.

You will be required to undertake practical enforcement action including conducting investigations, compiling case files and attending court when required.


You will be required to work closely with other agencies and teams including teams from across the MMO, Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities, UK Border Force and partners in the Joint Maritime Operations Coordination Centre and National Maritime Intelligence Centre.


You will be required to build local awareness and be able to promote the MMO's interests and priorities amongst other marine stakeholders.

Due to the activities of our stakeholders, there is sometimes a need to work out of office and unsociable hours including weekends.
