£DOE + Company Car

Passionate about sustainable growing?

Want to work with growers to improve crop health and yields?

Looking for a role that blends technical advice with relationship building?

This is a brand-new role, and a fantastic opportunity to join a global IPM business with a smaller, close-knit feel in the UK. You'll get the best of both worlds, backed by a world-renowned horticultural brand, while still being part of a supportive team where your voice really matters.

What's in it for you

• A full-time, permanent role.
• Competitive salary and bonus structure
• Car allowance and travel expenses covered.
• Formal qualification training, if required.
• The chance to work with a respected global brand in sustainable crop protection.
• Opportunities to attend industry events and travel internationally.
• Support from a collaborative team with a clear scope for career development.

The Role

Reporting to the UK Commercial Manager, who is a knowledgeable and supportive person, you'll work with protected vegetable and salad growers across the UK.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Building strong relationships with growers and acting as a trusted technical advisor.
• Crop walking, identifying challenges, and recommending tailored IPM strategies.
• Providing ongoing technical support throughout the growing season.
• Writing visit reports, updating forecasts, and inputting orders.
• Keeping connected with the wider European team on product developments and industry news.
• Attending trade shows, conferences, and occasional overseas meetings.
• Managing your own diary-spending about 50% of your time out with growers, the rest working from home.

This isn't about pushing products-it's about offering expert advice, building trust, and seeing the results of your recommendations first-hand.

About You

• You'll have experience and expertise working with protected vegetable or salad crops. This could be in a similar role or in a commercial growing setting.
• In-depth knowledge of integrated pest management.
• Ideally, you'll have your FACTS and/or BASIS.
• Confident communicator, able to build relationships and provide practical, data-driven solutions.
• A valid UK driving licence, with flexibility to stay away from home a few nights a week.
