We're seeking an experienced Agronomist who thrives in a supportive, non-corporate environment with a passion for agriculture, someone who excels on delivering tailored advice and finding solutions that help farmers succeed. What You'll Do: As an Agronomist, you'll be at the heart of what our client does - working closely with farmers to provide expert agronomy advice. You'll support them with practical, effective solutions, ensuring crops are nurtured to their full potential. While your expertise will cover a broad range of crops, your insights into spring barley will be especially valuable (but don't worry if you're not already an expert - They're happy to support your growth). Every day, you'll be building meaningful relationships with farmers and growers, understanding their needs, and helping them achieve their goals. What We're Looking For: They're after someone who is BASIS qualified, and while a FACTS qualification would be a bonus, it's not a dealbreaker. They're more interested in your hands-on experience and how you approach the challenges of agronomy. If you've worked with spring barley, that's great, but equally open to people keen to learn and grow in this area. You'll need to have a genuine passion for agriculture and a commitment to delivering excellent service. If you're connected to the local agricultural community, even better - your knowledge and relationships will help you hit the ground running. Who You Are: The ideal person for this role is someone who brings more than just professional qualifications to the table. Someone who approaches their work with dedication, but who also knows the importance of balance. You're someone who is driven, but who values a sense of community and wellbeing, and who understands how these qualities help make a great Agronomist. If you're someone who thrives in a supportive, non-corporate environment and values the flexibility and work-life balance that comes with it, you'll fit right in. Why You'll Love It: This is a role where your contributions truly matter. It's not just about the work - it's about being part of a company that treats its people with respect, that values wellbeing, and that allows you to grow professionally and personally. You'll enjoy a competitive salary and benefits package, ongoing professional development, and a work environment where your happiness and health are a priority. Our client wants you to bring your expertise, your passion, and your drive to this role, and will support you every step of the way. How do I apply?
