Full job description

We’re seeking an experienced lead grower to work closely with the nursery operations team. This experienced role will manage all of the growing production on the nursery – leading the propagation teams to produce large quantities of plants for the current and forthcoming season and manage plugs, plant health & irrigation. You will set best practice regarding quality and take the initiative to plan and organise a broad variety of growing activities, including managing space-utilisation across the nursery. You’ll have overall responsibility for the growing and care of plants from seed or cutting to finished product on the nursery, to ensure sowing, plugs, pot and pack plants are monitored, watered and sprayed as required along with regular checks for pest and disease.

About You:

As the lead growers it will be vital that you have PA1 and PA6 licences and good knowledge of bedding plants, pot plants and ideally some experience with Poinsettia and bulbs.

This role is physically demanding and largely hands on, greenhouse based – you will have a hands-on approach, not just delegating to your team but helping carry out duties and checks day to day. Being a team player and being happy to work alongside the other team members is expected.

Key Responsibilities:

· Ensuring that all parts of the crop are being monitored and cared for on a daily basis. There is access to an agronomist if there are questions or queries but it is expected you will have a good understanding of plant health issues and challenges.

· Manage plant health, including arranging or carrying out spraying and watering.

· Work closely with the production team to plan potting and planting of plugs and the growing areas and space for growing on.

· Work with the despatch team to ensure plants are meeting spec for delivery to our customers.

· Maintain inventory and managing stock of necessary supplies

· Implement and enforce safety and health regulations

Skills & Experience: Essential & Beneficial

· Essential: Several years’ experience in a lead grower role or similar

· Essential: Relevant Horticulture experience, including PA1//PA6 spraying license

· Essential: Comprehensive understanding of irrigation systems

· Essential: Planning and scheduling large-scale Horticulture production activities

About the business:

A family ran business that has been growing plants for over 30 years based on the Cambridgeshire/Norfolk boarder. With around 14 acres or greenhouses, biomass boilers, environmental computer system and overhead irrigation in many of the greenhouses. We supply to large UK retailers with a range of pot and pack bedding plants, bulbs and poinsettia. Experience in growing these crops would be very beneficial.

· What attracts you to this role

· Why you think you are a good candidate for this role

· How your experience fits the position we are looking to fill

[email protected]

Should your application be shortlisted, we will contact you directly to arrange an initial discussion about the role. Please only apply if your experience meets the essential criteria detailed above – please note, we are unable to contact every candidate individually unless you meet the criteria.

Pay: £35,000.00-£45,000.00 per year
