Horticulture trials analyst

Horticulture Trials Analyst Yorkshire GBPnegotiable A brand-new role brought in to advance the company #39;s ambition. You might not have heard of the company before, but you #39;ll have definitely bought their produce. It #39;s time to play your part in feeding the nation. What #39;s the Job? The role is a mix between desk and hands on. 30%, 70%. The admin stuff: it #39;s not the most exciting, but it #39;s important. You #39;ll be processing customer orders, managing data, and ensuring optimal seed stock control. You #39;ll also be talking to customers and suppliers, ensuring everything is running smoothly. Now, the hands-on side. This is where it gets interesting. They are working hard on their own growing media recipes, doing this all-in house. You #39;ll be playing a part in that. They #39;re also running trials in a newly built, state-of-the-art glasshouse. These trials will be looking at lots of variables across different fresh produce crops, working alongside academics and top-level professionals. With the trials, you #39;ll be doing a bit of everything from prep, to seed sowing, to husbandry, to gathering data, analysing, and presenting results. Flexibility is key! They #39;re a small, tight-knit team, so you might find yourself helping in other areas when things get busy. Teamwork makes the dream work, right? The overall site is 8 acres of glass, you #39;ll get a huge amount of exposure across the whole business. Starting out, you #39;ll be doing a bit more admin (about 30% of the role), but the plan is to gradually shift things so you can get your hands dirty full-time. What do I need? You #39;ll have some form of horticulture or agriculture qualification. Ideally, you #39;ll have your spray certificates and a forklift licence, but don #39;t worry if not, they #39;re happy to train you. Experience working in a commercial nursery is key - you #39;ll already understand the pressures in peak season and the nature of the role. It #39;s ok if you haven #39;t worked with salad crops before, as long as you #39;re proactive and enthusiastic, they #39;re happy to teach the rest. What #39;s Next?
