Are self-sufficient and happy working independently, there's support, but you'll be owning this

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

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.
