As one of the UK's largest fresh produce providers, we supply over one billion packs of healthy food every yearand we're not slowing down. Over the past five years, our Cambridgeshire Farms have made great strides in adopting Regenerative Agriculture practices. We're learning how to combine these principles with intensive horticulture to improve soil health, reduce inputs, and maintain yields - all while regenerating the land. To keep driving this progress, we're expanding our team with a Future Farming Technician,someone who's hands-on, curious, and passionate about the future of farming.

What You'll Be Doing:

Play a key role in progressing our regenerative trials and innovations, with much of your time spent in the field, not behind a desk. Build and maintain Johnson-Su bioreactors and develop bio-fermentation workstreams, helping bring microbial life back to our soils. Support and guide trials by working directly with growers and farm managers -from setting them up to collecting and interpreting results. Help oversee and work alongside our Trials Coordinator(s) and student placements -supporting fieldwork, trial maintenance, and sample collection. You must have the ability to work independently and drive progress in your assigned projects. Translate field observations and sample data into practical insights that drive real change in how we grow. Help build visibility and understanding of regenerative practices across the farming team through clear communication and on-the-ground engagement. Research new ideas and techniques -by getting out to farms, talking to innovators, and attending workshops and events.

Who We're Looking For:

A degree in biosciences, agriculture, a related discipline or demonstrable equivalent experience. Practical experience in farming, growing, or horticulture preferred,you're not afraid to get your hands dirty! A scientific mindset with a practical edge. You will enjoy working with data, but you'd rather be collecting it in the field than stuck in spreadsheets all day. Strong communication and teamwork skills soyou can connect with everyone from researchers to field workers. A full UK driving licence - you'll be visiting multiple sites regularly (a company vehicle will be provided).

Why Join Us?
