Passionate about sustainable growing?

Do you want to help growers improve crop health, yields, and profitability while building strong, lasting relationships?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a global horticultural supplier with a smaller, close-knit feel in the UK. You'll get the backing of a world-renowned brand while being part of a supportive team where your voice matters.

What's in it for you?

• Permanent, full-time role with competitive salary and bonus structure
• Company car and travel expenses covered.
• Formal training to support your technical expertise.
• Work with a respected global brand in sustainable crop protection.
• Attend industry events and occasional international meetings.

The Role

Reporting to the UK Sales Manager, you'll support protected salad, soft fruit, and ornamental growers across the Northwest (Lancashire to Staffordshire).

Your focus will be on providing technical advice, helping growers implement tailored IPM strategies, and supporting crop success with products like growing media, fertilisers, and crop protection solutions.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Acting as the first point of contact for growers seeking technical support
• Building strong, trusted relationships with growers
• Crop walking, identifying challenges, and recommending solutions.
• Supporting growers to create and implement tailored IPM strategies.
• Writing visit reports, updating forecasts, and managing orders
• Keeping connected with the wider European team on product developments and industry news.
• Attending trade shows, conferences, and occasional overseas meetings
• Managing your own diary - around 50% of your time with growers, the rest working from home

This role isn't about pushing products-it's about offering expert advice, building trust, and seeing the impact of your recommendations first-hand.

About You

• UK-based experience with protected salad, soft fruit, or ornamental crops, either in commercial growing or technical advisory roles
• Strong knowledge of integrated pest management (IPM) principles
• FACTS and/or BASIS qualifications desirable (training can be provided)
• Confident communicator, able to provide practical, data-driven solutions.
• Flexible, with a valid UK driving licence and occasional overnight travel
• Keen to learn new crops, products, and techniques.
