* Strongly backed Vertical Farming start-up with a long term plan...
KEY SKILLS / EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:
* 1-2 years' relevant experience in Growing and Horticulture.
* Your experience could be in commercial growing or academia / research - we are open minded!
* Strawberries expertise a 'nice to have' but not essential.
* Exposure to Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) a bonus but not essential.
* Forward thinking and open to embracing new innovations.
OVERVIEW:
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 an Assistant Grower (reporting into a more senior Grower). The role comes with a possible career track to develop in seniority when the business moves into the bigger facility.
The role could be an ideal fit for somebody looking to forge a Growing career in industry, while being at the forefront of innovation.
CEA / Vertical Farming experience would be treated as a bonus but is not essential (same goes for Strawberries exposure), and would be secondary to personal traits such as a desire to progress, and an innovative mindset!
