Job description

Job Title: Farm Manager

Location: County Meath, Ireland

Ready to lead a progressive farming operation and shape its future?

We're working with a well-established and highly regarded fresh produce grower to find an experienced Farm Manager who is ready to take on a pivotal leadership role within a dynamic and growing business.

Why this role stands out

  • A high-impact leadership role where your decisions will shape the direction of the farm
  • A business that is very open to new ideas, innovation, and continuous improvement
  • A varied role blending hands-on farming, agronomy, and strategic planning
  • A competitive salary package, with flexibility around benefits and relocation support

About the business

Our client is a large-scale, diverse fresh produce operation producing a wide range of crops, including leafy salads, and specialist vegetables, across both outdoor fields and controlled indoor environments

The business supplies some of the most recognisable names in retail and foodservice and is now looking to strengthen its leadership team as it continues to grow.

The Role

As Farm Manager, you'll be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day and long-term performance of the farming operation. This is a role that combines technical expertise with people leadership, requiring someone who is equally comfortable out in the field as they are planning strategically.

People are at the heart of this business, and the leadership approach reflects that.

We're looking for someone who can:

  • Lead with respect, professionalism, and integrity
  • Create a culture where people feel valued, heard, and supported
  • Inspire teams to deliver their best without relying on pressure or hierarchy

You'll be managing a well-established team, with experienced supervisors and technical support already in place, as well as a larger seasonal workforce during peak periods.

About You

This role will suit an experienced farm professional who is looking for more responsibility, greater influence, and a long-term career move.

You'll bring:

  • Proven experience leading teams and managing complex farming operations
  • Confidence to make decisions, take ownership, and lead from the front
  • Strong organisational and communication skills, with the ability to work across all levels of a business

You'll also ideally need to hold your FACTS and BASIS certifications, or equivalent.

What's In It For You

  • Competitive salary - up to €70,000
  • Potential for relocation support or accommodation
  • Company vehicle
  • Pension
  • Bonus scheme
