Job Description

Do you love travel, thrive outdoors, and get a kick out of turning great science into real-world results?
We're working with an innovative agri-tech company that's revolutionising how farmers grow in water-stressed regions, and they're looking for an Agronomist to join their growing team.
If you've got a solid understanding of crops, soils, and irrigation, and you're ready to see the world while making a difference, this could be the adventure your career's been waiting for.
About the Company
Our client is a fast-growing, sustainability-driven agri-tech business with a breakthrough product helping growers dramatically cut water use while improving crop performance.
They're a small but mighty team of scientists, agronomists, and technical specialists working across multiple continents to prove and promote their innovative solution.
With a strong pipeline of field trials, regulatory approvals, and commercial projects underway, they're now looking to expand their technical field team to keep up with global demand.
The Role
This isn't your average agronomy job. You'll be out in the field - literally - all around the world.
Working closely with the Technical Director, you'll manage crop trials, collect data, and help local growers and distributors get the best from this groundbreaking technology.
Your role will include:

• Designing, setting up, and managing field trials across regions such as Zambia, Spain, the Americas, and beyond
• Gathering data on soil moisture, yield, and water-use efficiency, and making sure trials are executed properly
• Analysing results and producing clear, actionable reports
• Engaging with growers, agronomists, and distributors to share insights and support product adoption
• Representing the company at trade shows and grower events (think Mexico, not Milton Keynes)

Between travel, you'll collate trial data, write reports, and stay in touch with your colleagues via regular online meetings, it's a close-knit, supportive team, even if you're often on different continents you'll still speak daily.
About You
You'll be the kind of person who thrives in a practical, hands-on environment and loves being out on farms as much as analysing data back at your desk. You'll be confident enough to work independently but collaborative enough to stay connected with a global team.
We're looking for:

• A degree in Agronomy, Soil Science, or related field
• Experience in field trials, irrigation systems, and data analysis
• A commercial mindset - you can turn data into stories that resonate with growers
• Strong communication and cross-cultural relationship skills
• Willingness to travel extensively (some months you could be travelling 3 out of 4 weeks)
• Self-motivation, reliability, and a sense of adventure

Bonus points if you:

• Speak Spanish or have experience working internationally
• Have your BASIS and FACTS qualifications (or be keen to work toward them)
• Know your way around Excel and agronomic data software

What's in It for You

• Competitive salary (40-50K, depending on experience)
• 10% pension scheme
• Discretionary bonus scheme
• Global travel opportunities

If you're excited by the idea of spending part of your month in Africa or Latin America, helping farmers save water and improve yields, while working with a smart, international team - this could be the role for you.
