Job description

Overview

Do you enjoy meeting new people, and want to make a real difference in sustainable farming? We're looking for a personable, self-motivated Land Finder & Sales Manager to help our client grow their network of farming partners across Scotland.

Their work is all about turning recycled materials into high-quality soil conditioners that support healthier farms and a cleaner environment. Your role? Find and build relationships with farmers, landowners, and estate managers—and help them see the value in what our client does.

You’ll be out and about at least one day a week, in the office another, and the rest is yours to manage—remote, field, or on the road. If you’ve got a knack for talking to people, a head for organisation, and a heart for the countryside, this could be a perfect fit.

What you’ll be doing

• Reaching out to farmers and landowners to offer our soil improvement products
• Explaining the benefits of limed sludge and recycled nutrient pellets—on the phone, over email, and in person
• Building strong, lasting relationships and encouraging repeat business
• Keeping your contacts and progress up to date using simple digital tools
• Working with our logistics and office team to keep everything running smoothly
• Visiting farms to collect soil samples, inspect product stockpiles, and handle basic paperwork
• Giving feedback on how we can improve our digital tools for the team and our customers
• Keeping an eye on changes in regulations and best practices around land use and recycling

What we're looking for

• Some experience in farming, sales, land work, or rural development would be great—but they're happy to train the right person
• Someone who’s friendly, confident, and comfortable talking to farmers and land managers
• A self-starter who can manage their own time and stay organised
• Comfortable using mobile apps, spreadsheets, and digital forms
• An interest in farming, soil health, or sustainability
• A full UK driving licence and the right to work in the UK

What you’ll get in return

• A company car or car allowance to support your travel
• A flexible hybrid working model that respects your independence
• 30 days paid holiday (including bank holidays)
• Statutory pension scheme
• Full training and ongoing support—so you can grow as they do

This isn’t just another sales job. It’s a chance to get out in the field, talk to real people, and be part of something that’s genuinely good for the land. If that sounds like your kind of role, we’d love to hear from you.
