Glasshouse Grower
Glasshouse GrowerChichester | Full-time | Competitive Salary + Career Growth
Do you have a passion for plants, an eye for detail, and a knack for turning temperature, humidity, and light into magic for fruit? If you're someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-tech horticultural environment, this is your chance to take ownership of something fresh (and delicious).
We're looking for a Glasshouse Grower to join a leading soft fruit business growing strawberries in state-of-the-art glasshouses, all year round. This is not your average farm gig - it's a hands-on, tech-savvy role where you'll be working at the heart of precision growing, and sustainable systems.
What You'll Be Doing:
1. Monitoring and managing irrigation, fertigation, and climate control - dialling in every element to grow the perfect crop
2. Walking the crops daily to check for pests, diseases, plant health, and harvest readiness
3. Supporting the wider growing and husbandry teams to keep everything running smoothly from root to fruit
4. Maintaining biological controls and working closely on spray planning and execution
5. Collaborating with the Glasshouse Manager to plan out key jobs week-to-week
6. During harvest, carrying out regular checks to monitor quality, fruit size, timing, and weather factors
7. Keeping the growing environment, systems, and workspace in top condition
We're Looking for Someone Who:
8. Has solid experience in a commercial glasshouse or protected cropping environment (soft fruit is a big plus)
9. Can confidently make day-to-day decisions and spot things others might miss
10. Is computer literate and communicates clearly
11. Loves detail, data, and delivering quality crops every day
12. Has a full UK/EU driving licence
13. Is flexible to work weekends when needed
14. Is curious, self-motivated, and keen to keep learning and developing professionally
What's In It for You:
15. The chance to grow crops all year round in a modern, data-led environment
16. Work with a close-knit team of growers and tech-led farming professionals
17. A supportive business that values personal development and career progression
18. Involvement in real decision-making and the chance to make your mark
19. A role where your attention to detail makes a measurable impact every day
If you're ready to grow more than just great strawberries - and want to be part of a business that's pushing the boundaries of modern horticulture - this is the opportunity for you.
