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.

Operations & Growing Manager Soft Fruit Somerset This isn't just another growing job. It's your opportunity to play a key role in a sustainable farming project that's changing the way fresh produce is grown in the UK - with clear progression as the business scales up. Backed by established growers and the energy sector, they're approaching vertical farming from a different angle - not just as agriculture, but as part of the energy industry. After four years of successful trials and close collaboration with customers, they're now ready to take the next step. You'll be joining at a pivotal time, with the chance to be part of something truly exciting. The Role You'll take ownership of their pilot site in Somerset, making sure daily operations run smoothly while also playing a central role in shaping their first large-scale commercial facility. Working closely with the founder and a team of experienced growers and agronomists, you'll have plenty of support as you develop in the role. Your responsibilities will include: Managing site operations including lighting, irrigation, fertigation, harvest, and labour. Running structured crop trials and analysing data to inform large-scale processes. Writing, rolling out, and improving SOPs for growing and site operations. Maintaining compliance and supporting audits. Leading daily meetings, shift planning, and ensuring accurate record keeping. Monitoring KPIs (yield, energy use, cost per kg, labour efficiency) and driving improvements. Supporting the design and set-up of a new commercial facility. This role will evolve quickly - within 12-18 months, you could be stepping up into a bigger leadership position as the business scales. About you Experience in commercial growing - glasshouse or vertical farming. Soft fruit would be a bonus, but transferable crop knowledge is just as valuable. Data confident - able to use Excel to analyse results and make decisions. Comfortable with processes and compliance - ideally with HACCP/BRCGS or similar. Proactive, resilient, and self-sufficient - someone who spots issues early and takes ownership. A strong communicator who enjoys working across technical and growing teams. Trials experience would be beneficial but not essential. Ability to relocate - their commercial site is likely to be based in the Midlands, so you'll be able to move as this develops. What's in it for you? A rare chance to join a business tackling both food security and sustainability. Career progression - this role has real potential for promotion within 2 years. Competitive salary Be part of a small, passionate, and supportive team where your input really matters. How to Apply For an informal chat, call Sarah on (phone number removed), email (url removed), or drop me a message on LinkedIn.
