Job Description

Want to learn from some of the most experienced growers in the industry while developing your own skills?
This role offers you the chance to work with strawberries at scale, in a forward-thinking business supplying the UK's top retailers.
What's the Job?
As Grower Supervisor, you'll work closely with the team to make sure crops are healthy, productive, and delivered on time. It's a hands-on role with lots of variety - a perfect opportunity to expand your technical knowledge and gain people management experience.
You'll be involved in:

• Monitoring crop growth, quality, pests, and diseases
• Helping plan and deliver crop husbandry tasks throughout the season.
• Supporting with irrigation, fertigation, and climate control (PRIVA systems)
• Assisting in crop forecasting and reporting
• Learning how to manage biological control programmes and spray schedules.
• Supervising the growing team day-to-day, ensuring work is carried out to the right standard.
• Keeping accurate crop and input records for audits and traceability

What You'll Need

• Experience working in commercial soft fruit production.
• An understanding of crop husbandry, irrigation, or pest/disease management
• You'll already have your PA1 and PA6. It'd be great if you have your FACTS or BASIS, but not essential.
• Enthusiasm, curiosity, and a drive to progress into a more senior grower role

What's on Offer

• A genuine career development opportunity in commercial soft fruit
• The chance to work with new varieties, cutting-edge technology, and a highly skilled team.
• Full training and mentoring from experienced growers.
• Competitive salary DOE + benefits
