This Assistant Manager position offers an exciting opportunity for individuals passionate about oysters. Spat-Tech is an oyster hatchery located in Perkinston, Mississippi. At Spat Tech our main goal is coastal restoration. We raise larvae to a settable size, and set at our setting facility. We then deploy these set oysters to the Gulf where they will live out the rest of their days and filter the Gulf! We are a small company of 23 employees and looking to grow. We produce roughly 1.5B oysters a year, but would like to improve on that.
