Grower Manager

£negotiable

Lea Valley

Looking for the autonomy you know you're capable of?

Want to put your expertise to use and train the team around you?

This is a chance to work for a business as they open their second glasshouse growing operation.

What's the Role?

Any grower or grower supervisor will know what's involved in the role. Managing the team and irrigation, P&D, nutrition.

You'll have full overview of the growing operation across this 5ac glasshouse, specialising in protected salad crops.

You'll see yourself working collaboratively with their other site, as well as working with the owners to implement best practices and continuous improvement.

The role is hands on, and there's no doubt you will be working hard but the rewards are there. If you have a real passion for growing fresh produce alongside great teams this could be just the role for you.

What do I need?

Previous experience growing produce to supply UK supermarkets would be good, along with knowledge of growing protected edible crops.

You'll already have your spray certificates and be confident in using them, as well as experience in managing or supervising teams.

You might be a grower manager ready for something fresh, or you might be a grower supervisor ready to take the next step. Either way, I want to hear from you.

What's next?

For an informal chat, please call me, Sarah on (phone number removed), email , or drop me a message on LinkedIn. Don't worry if your CV isn't up to date, just send what you have already, and we can sort the rest later
