Job Description:
Technical Growing Manager
West Sussex
Chichester
Ready to use your knowledge to increase the quality of millions of plants a year?
Want to find somewhere where you can be the expert and train your team?
This rare opportunity is due to a retirement, so now it could be your chance to work for this well-known, commercial nursery.
What’s the Role?
This role will see you managing a team of people across 4 sites. You’ll be reporting to the director, who has been in the business for over 20 years, so you’ll have a wealth of knowledge to learn from.
You’ll have a range of responsibilities in this role, meaning no two days will be the same.
Imagine a week like this:
Monday: You’re spending your time across their 30ac production area. You’re looking at the production and planning for next year, setting up the team day-to-day and monitoring P&D.
Tuesday: You’re spending today focusing on compliance. You’ll be ensuring that growing practices are in line with accreditation and customers and reviewing the nursery’s policies and procedures.
Wednesday: This is a day looking at continuous improvement. You might see you spending your time focusing on new product development, implementing cost-saving measures, or looking at innovations in the industry.
Thursday: This day is spent focusing on your team. You’ll be identifying areas for development, creating individual development plans, and passing on your knowledge.
Friday: More of an office-based day. You could spend your morning entering and analysing production data, and then be chatting to external suppliers in the afternoon.
What do I need?
You’ll have experience working in a business that is growing crops on a commercial scale. Whilst they specialise in ornamentals, if you’re expertise is in another crop, but you want to learn, we want to hear from you.
You’ll have management experience and be comfortable to step in and lead a team.
You might come from a growing background. You might be coming from a technical crop or agronomy background. You might be working in growing but looking to take a step up with the right support. Either way, this could be the role for you.
What’s Next?
For an informal chat about the position, please call me, Sarah on , email or drop me a message on LinkedIn. Don’t worry if your CV isn’t up to date, just send what you have already, and we can sort the rest later.
