Farming Project Manager - Help Build the Future of Sustainable Farming

Preston, Lancashire | Full-time | £DOE

Tired of managing the same old projects? Want to roll your sleeves up and help grow something completely new?

We're hiring on behalf of an ambitious, eco-driven business doing things a little differently. They're turning traditional farming on its head, using cutting-edge R&D, natural solutions, and some serious innovation to grow a novel crop with massive environmental benefits.

This isn't a start-up in the risky sense; they've been testing this system for years in greenhouses, proving that it works. But now it's time to scale. That's where you come in.

The Role

This isn't your classic clipboard Project Manager role. You'll be right at the heart of a growing operation, quite literally. Working closely with growers, scientists and project partners, your job is to get this unusual crop out of the glasshouse and thriving in the field.

You'll take the lead on planning, coordinating and scaling a field-based growing system that's still in its early stages. Expect hands-on problem-solving, occasional kit-fixing, and lots of freedom to shape how things are done.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Running the project on a day-to-day basis: crop planning, tracking progress, and troubleshooting
• Developing and improving planting, harvesting and processing methods
• Making sure things run on time, on budget, and with minimal stress
• Creating and managing reporting pipelines, both internally and for external project funders
• Attending partner meetings, industry events, and contributing to knowledge-sharing
• Collaborating with the wider R&D team to trial new methods and tech
• Helping shape what this project looks like in 6 months, 1 year, even 5 years

You'll Love This Role If You:

• Are a naturally organised person who loves bringing structure to fast-moving projects
• Have a background in farming, agri-tech, science-based projects, or field-based R&D
• Enjoy solving weird problems and aren't afraid to get a bit muddy in the process
• Are self-sufficient and happy working independently, there's support, but you'll be owning this

Bonus Points For:

• Experience with small-scale or specialist crops
• Knowledge of irrigation, soil health, or agronomy
• A keen interest in new agricultural machinery or sustainable farming tech
• The drive to lead a small team in the future as the business grows

Why This Is a Bit Different:

• You'll be working on a truly unique, nature-based solution with real environmental impact
• The business is backed by serious R&D, a growing reputation, and a great team
• In four years, they expect to be unrecognisable (in the best way) and you'll be part of that journey from the ground up

If you've got the skills, the passion, and the drive, we'd love to hear from you.
