A Vertical Farming business with a difference. This start-up is backed by a much longer organisation, has a domain expert at the helm, and a clear vision when it comes to aspects such as renewable energy accessibility and commercialisation.
Currently focused on developing a proof of concept Vertical Farming growing space, they have plans in place to move into a much larger commercial facility next year.
They are now looking to expand their growing capabilities with the hire of a Grower with expertise in strawberries. The role comes with a possible career track to senior / lead / head grower when they move into a larger facility.
The role could be an ideal fit for somebody who feels like they still have plenty of scope for learning and progression... while at the same time already possessing a strong bank (3-5+ years) of relevant growing experience.
