Assistant Harvest Manager Soft Fruit - Hampshire DOE + accommodation + discretionary bonus Want to be part of something bigger than just a harvest? This isn't a tick-the-box type role. It's about stepping into a business that lives and breathes soft fruit, with a scale that means no two days are ever the same. With over 80 hectares in production, the harvest is right at the heart of the operation. The role has opened up as the current person is moving on, so they're looking for someone motivated, hands-on, and ready to take ownership. What's the Job? You'll be reporting into the Production Manager and working across strawberries, leading and supporting the harvest teams. You'll be making sure the right people are in the right place at the right time, that fruit quality and yield standards are maintained, and that the harvest runs smoothly and efficiently. Daily out in the fields coordinating supervisors and seasonal staff, the next you'll be monitoring quality, reviewing yield data, and liaising with logistics. You'll also spend time with the leadership team to ensure problems are solved quickly and the bigger picture is always in focus. This isn't a 9-5. It's a crop-driven role where flexibility is key, and you'll spend the majority of your time out in the field - motivating, supporting and leading from the front. About You You'll have experience in commercial horticulture, ideally in soft fruit (preferably strawberries). Ideally, proven ability to manage large teams (Apply online only) people at peak). You'll be confident, organised and able to get the best out of supervisors and seasonal workers. You'll be comfortable balancing fieldwork with data, quality control, and logistics. What's Next? This is a role for someone who wants to make a real impact. If you've got the experience and drive to take on a challenge, get in touch for a confidential chat. Contact me, Kieran, on (phone number removed), email me at (url removed) or message me on LinkedIn.
