You’ll play a vital role in growing the freshest, highest-quality salads and herbs. As our Drill/Cultivation Operator, you’ll make sure every crop starts strong—precision drilling and cultivation that sets the foundation for success.
You’ll take charge of drilling operations, calibrating seed densities, and keeping accurate records on our farm systems. You’ll maintain seed stock levels, keep the seed area clean and audit-ready, and ensure all equipment is in top condition for the job. Daily checks, machinery maintenance, and attention to detail will be second nature to you.
You can do this because you’re experienced in tractor driving, physically fit, and ready to work outdoors in all conditions. You’re a team player who understands health and safety, and you’re willing to go the extra mile when the season demands it. A full driving licence is essential, and a forklift certificate is a bonus.
You’ll also get involved in groundwork and other growing tasks, supporting the farm team to deliver exceptional results. You’ll bring care, precision, and pride to everything you do—because you know that great crops start with great preparation.
You’ll help us grow more than crops—you’ll grow standards, innovation, and success. And in return, we’ll give you the tools, training, and support to thrive in a role that really matters.
Ready to get behind the wheel and make an impact? Apply now and join a team that’s shaping the future of fresh food.
