We are working with one of the UK's leading berry growers, who are now looking for a Crop Specialist to join one of their farms.

You will be liaising with the relevant line managers to ensure that the right growing procedures are done, and all crops are growing according to plan. Reporting to the farm manager, you will be communicating regularly about what is going well and any potential areas of concern, and then addressing these promptly. Crop forecasting and planning will also fall into your remit.
