We’re delighted to feature a highly capable Agronomist and Growing Manager who is returning to the UK after several successful years managing diverse, commercial crop systems across Africa. This professional brings a rare blend of technical depth, practical leadership, and international perspective – the kind of balance that can make a tangible difference to any forward-thinking farming or fresh produce enterprise.

With a foundation in soil science and sustainable crop management, they have built a career focused on improving soil health, optimising nutrient programmes, and driving yield and quality through precision agronomy. Their work has spanned tree crops, vegetables, and arable production, providing hands-on exposure to the full cycle of modern farming – from soil mapping and water management to crop nutrition and biological control strategies.

A graduate of Harper Adams University, they combine academic grounding with real-world application. Over the past several years, they have contributed to both large-scale production systems and technical agronomy consultancies, advising on practices that reduce chemical inputs, enhance biological resilience, and deliver measurable gains in productivity and sustainability.

Known for their methodical approach and calm leadership style, this candidate is equally comfortable working in the field or analysing data behind the desk. Their experience with multi-crop systems and diverse climates has sharpened their adaptability – a crucial skill as UK agriculture faces shifting climatic and market pressures.

Now seeking a UK-based Agronomist or Growing Manager role (around £38K), they are ready to apply their expertise to help progressive growers strengthen both profitability and soil health. Fully eligible to work in the UK, they are open to relocation and committed to long-term development within a business that values innovation and sustainability.

This is an excellent opportunity for an employer seeking a driven, knowledgeable, and globally experienced professional who can bring new ideas, practical problem-solving, and measurable results to the field.
