Horticulture Technical Sales Advisor

Horticulture Technical Sales Advisor

England - Home Based with Travel

DOE + Car + Bonus

Passionate about IPM?

Enjoy building relationships with growers and helping them improve crop performance?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a global leader in biological crop protection and pollination, supporting commercial growers across the UK with sustainable growing solutions.

This isn't just a technical advisory role. It's a chance to become a trusted partner to growers across the horticulture industry, helping them improve crop performance while developing long-term commercial relationships, growing market share, and creating new business opportunities.

We're looking for someone who enjoys being out with customers, spotting opportunities, opening doors, and turning technical conversations into commercial success. If you like the idea of building relationships, winning new business, and growing accounts while still staying close to the crop, this could be the perfect fit.

What's on offer?

• Competitive salary DOE
• Company car
• Bonus structure
• Home-based role with national travel
• Formal and in-house training
• Opportunity to work with market-leading biological solutions
• Support for ongoing professional development, including BASIS training

What's the job?

You'll work directly with commercial growers, providing technical advice on biological control, pollination, and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programmes across a range of protected crops.

You'll build strong relationships with both new and existing customers, helping them overcome challenges, improve crop performance, and get the best value from biological growing solutions.

While technical expertise is critical, you'll also play an important role in developing existing accounts, identifying new opportunities, and supporting the continued growth of the business.

Day to day, you'll be:

• Advising growers on biological control programmes, pollination, and IPM strategies
• Building strong relationships with customers and becoming their trusted technical contact
• Identifying opportunities to expand existing accounts and increase market share
• Supporting new business development across protected crops
• Crop walking and diagnosing pest, disease, and pollination challenges
• Producing technical reports and maintaining accurate customer records
• Supporting product forecasting to ensure reliable supply
• Working closely with distributors, growers, and industry influencers
• Collaborating with UK and international technical teams
• Attending customer meetings, trade shows, and technical events

This is a home-based role with regular travel and overnight stays throughout the UK.

What do I need?

• Experience in commercial horticulture or a strong understanding of commercial growing environments
• You might come from a growing, technical advisory, or horticultural sales background - either way, we'd love to hear from you
• Good technical knowledge of crop production and plant health
• Knowledge of IPM, biological control, and sustainable growing methods
• Commercial awareness and an interest in developing business opportunities
• Confidence communicating with growers and building long-term relationships
• Willingness to learn and develop your technical knowledge further
• Full UK driving licence and flexibility to travel
• FACTS and/or BASIS would be great, but they're not essential. Training and support can be provided for the right person
