About The Role:
Fantastic opportunity to earn extra income this summer, gain insight into the inner workings of one of the UK's leading Agricultural companies, and learn about the journey your morning slice of toast and bowl of cereal has made.
Each summer at Harvest (July to September), our farmer customers are at their busiest, combining their ripened cereal crops (wheat, oats, barley) to sell and transport to food producers, such as flour mills within the UK and Europe for bread, breakfast cereals, or brewing beer.
We provide our farmer customers with an on-farm sampling service across farms in the southern UK (East and West Sussex, Kent, Wiltshire, Somerset, Dorset). Samplers collect small crop samples, which are then taken to our laboratory in Chichester for quality testing to determine crop value before purchase and transportation.
The company supplies each sampler with a van, daily work schedule, sampling equipment, and full instructions on sample collection and handling, following health and safety protocols.
This role involves physical activity, including walking through fields and possibly scrambling up grain piles to collect samples for accurate testing.
Samplers must be confident drivers, hold a UK driving license, and plan efficient routes for sample collection.
To Apply:
If interested, please send your Covering Letter and CV. Your Covering Letter should tell us about you and why this summer opportunity suits you, emphasizing reliability and maturity.
You must hold a Full UK Drivers license.
Additional Notes:
This is a fairly active role requiring early starts, farm visits, and physical sample collection, often in varying weather conditions. Professionalism in representing the company is essential.
