The role is homebased, but you would be expected to travel to a Frontier site for occasional meetings, when needed.

Often working alone, you will be self-motivated, organised and having previous experience involving customer-facing activities is desirable but not essential as all training will be given to ensure we provide a professional and safe service to customers.

  • Employee Assistance Program providing 24 hours support & advice in areas such as health and wellbeing for yourself, your family & friends (up to 5 people in total)
  • Increased Maternity, Paternity & Adoption leave benefits for eligible employees
  • Life Assurance scheme and pension plan with employer contributions of up to 7%
  • Up to two days paid volunteer leave per year (only applicable to permanent employees)
  • The opportunity to join our employee network groups including LGBTQ+, Menopause wellbeing, Neurodiversity and Women’s network groups.
  • Cycle to Work Scheme, employee retail discount scheme and free eye test vouchers

About You

  • Strong communication skills both over the phone and face to face
  • Full UK driving licence
  • Able to work outside in all conditions
  • IT literate
  • Proven attention to detail
  • Prior experience in a soil sampling role would be advantageous but is not essential.

Your Role Will Involve

As a Soil Technician your role will involve:

  • Field services including GPS soil sampling, scanning and ground truthing.
  • Handling of digital data and maps
  • Management and planning of customer orders and schedules
  • Basic ATV and hardware/software maintenance
  • Understanding and deliver exceptional customer service to internal and external stakeholders
  • Excellent communication via phone and on-farm
  • Active participation with our Health and Safety culture
