• Keep accurate records and stay on top of paperwork (yes, audits matter!)
• Communicate with other departments to ensure smooth operations across the site
• Bring your knowledge of growing (any crop background welcome!) and apply it to the world of protected horticulture
• Take responsibility for your own work while being a great team player

What We're Looking For

We're not just after technical skills - we're looking for someone who's curious, motivated, and loves being part of a team that works with nature every day. Ideally, you'll have:

• A good understanding of plant husbandry and crop needs
• Knowledge of pest & disease control (biological, chemical, physical)
• Qualifications such as PA1, PA6, FLT, First Aid (or willingness to gain them)
• Strong communication skills and a proactive approach
• A self-motivated attitude with the ability to spot issues and take action

Why You'll Love This Role

• Work with a business that's passionate about innovation and sustainability
• Be part of a friendly, supportive team where your input really matters
• Develop your technical growing skills on a commercial scale
• Enjoy a role that blends science, problem-solving, and hands-on crop care
