Job Description

Want to work with growers to improve crop health and yields, specifically with tomatoes and cucumbers?
Looking for a role that blends technical advice with relationship building?
This is a brand-new role, and a fantastic opportunity to join a global IPM business with a smaller, close-knit feel in the UK. You'll get the best of both worlds, backed by a world-renowned horticultural brand, while still being part of a supportive team where your voice really matters.
What's in it for you?

• A full-time, permanent role.
• Competitive salary and bonus structure
• Car allowance and travel expenses covered.
• Formal qualification training, if required.
• The chance to work with a respected global brand in sustainable crop protection.
• Opportunities to attend industry events and travel internationally.
• Support from a collaborative team with a clear scope for career development.

The Role
Reporting to the UK Commercial Manager, who is a knowledgeable and supportive person, you'll work with protected vegetable and salad growers across the UK. Your focus will be tomato, peppers, cucumber and salad growers, so you'll have the opportunity to utilise your knowledge in these crops and IPM.
Your day-to-day will include:

• Building strong relationships with growers and acting as a trusted technical IPM advisor.
• Crop walking, identifying challenges, and recommending tailored IPM strategies.
• Providing ongoing technical support throughout the growing season.
• Writing visit reports, updating forecasts, and inputting orders.
• Keeping connected with the wider European team on product developments and industry news.
• Attending trade shows, conferences, and occasional overseas meetings.
• Managing your own diary-spending about 50% of your time out with growers, the rest working from home.

This isn't about pushing products-it's about offering expert advice, building trust, and seeing the results of your recommendations first-hand.
About You

• With this being a new role, you'll be able to hit the ground running.
• You'll have experience and expertise either in IPM advising or implementation, or a background in commercial production - of tomatoes, peppers cucumbers or similar.
• In-depth knowledge of integrated pest management.
• Ideally, you'll have your FACTS and/or BASIS.
• Confident communicator, able to build relationships and provide practical, data-driven solutions.
• A valid UK driving licence, with flexibility to stay away from home a few nights a week.
