If so, this could be an excellent opportunity to join a well-established fresh produce business supplying major UK retailers. This role sits within the Responsible Sourcing team and will focus on managing pesticide compliance across a wide range of products, suppliers, and global supply chains. You will play a key role in ensuring supplier compliance, maintaining food safety due diligence, and supporting responsible and sustainable sourcing practices. This position would suit either an experienced compliance professional within fresh produce, agriculture, or food manufacturing, or a graduate with a relevant degree (for example MSc Ethnobotany or similar plant / crop science background) who is looking to build a career within technical and compliance functions. Key Responsibilities You will take ownership of pesticide compliance across the supply chain, ensuring suppliers meet customer and regulatory expectations. Responsibilities will include managing supplier and customer PPP and PPPL derogation processes, working closely with suppliers to gather the required information for pesticide concessions, and supporting the development of reduction plans where necessary. You will review and compile pesticide compliance documentation, including spray records, PPPLs, PPUs and residue analysis, ensuring all documentation is accurate and compliant with customer standards.
