Do you enjoy being out in the field, walking crops, talking to growers, and making real decisions that impact yield and quality?
I'm working with a leading grower group to find an Agronomist who will become the trusted advisor across a network of farms - helping deliver top-quality crops while driving sustainable, forward-thinking farming practices.
This is a brilliant role if you like variety, autonomy, and being right at the centre of the action from planting through to harvest.
The Role
You’ll act as the first point of contact for a group of growers, working closely with them throughout the season to ensure crops are established, managed and harvested to the highest possible standards.
This isn't just about recommending sprays - it's about understanding the full picture: soil, timing, logistics, market demands and long‑term sustainability.
What You'll Be Doing
You’ll be out on farm regularly, building relationships and supporting growers with practical, hands‑on agronomy:
* Walking crops weekly and advising on nutrition, pest and disease control, and husbandry
* Supporting growers with soil preparation, establishment and crop performance
* Helping plan drilling and harvest schedules alongside the wider team
* Working closely with seed and crop protection companies to stay ahead of new developments
* Supporting variety trials and improving growing systems
But it doesn't stop there - you’ll also be heavily involved in the bigger picture:
* Coordinating communication across growers, harvest teams and the supply chain
* Providing crop forecasts and harvest predictions for customers
* Supporting product availability planning and quality expectations
* Assisting with crop costings, benchmarking and grower performance
* Contributing to continuous improvement across the grower base
Who This Would Suit
You’ll likely be:
* An Agronomist (or working towards it) with a strong understanding of fresh produce crops
* Someone who enjoys building relationships and being a trusted advisor
* Organised, proactive and comfortable managing your own schedule
* Happy spending long days out in the field during peak season
* A clear communicator who can work across growers, customers and internal teams
You don't need to know everything - but you do need curiosity, energy, and a genuine interest in improving how crops are grown.
What's On Offer
* Competitive salary (depending on experience)
* Company vehicle
* 30 days holiday (including bank holidays)
* Pension scheme
* Medical insurance
* Opportunities for training, development and attending industry events
* Exposure to innovation, trials and wider supply chain decision‑making
The Details
* Field-based role covering a wide grower network (significant travel required within Scotland)
* Seasonal peaks (this is farming, after all) but hugely rewarding
If you’re looking for a role where you can combine technical knowledge, people skills and real on‑farm impact, this is a fantastic opportunity.
