Trainee Technical Specialist

Cambridge

Ref: SV/A1024

Are you interested in plants and agriculture? Do you have a good eye for detail and a flexible approach to work? Would you enjoy a varied working environment?

NIAB is currently recruiting for an enthusiastic Trainee Technical Specialist to assist with delivery of the DUS and Seed Certification programs. Work is focused on the assessment and description of plant varieties and involves sample handling, trial set-up and drilling, recording of plant characteristics and crop inspections. The role involves extensive field work, along with associated office, laboratory and glasshouse duties. Outside work takes place in all seasons and some tasks are physically demanding.

We are keen to speak with self-motivated candidates who possess strong communication skills, a proven ability to deliver as part of a team and attention to detail. A good level of education is required to at least A level standard or equivalent in biological/science subjects. Previous experience in running field trials would be highly advantageous in this role. The position requires a current full UK driving licence to travel to trials and crops away from NIAB HQ in Cambridge.

Starting salary in the range of £19,626 - £25,896 per annum, dependent on skills, experience and qualifications.

Further details and an application form are available from: www.niab.com/careers or from the HR Office, NIAB, Lawrence Weaver Road, Cambridge CB3 0LE. Tel: 01223 342282.
