Scotland
Sustainable growing is the focus for many commercial growers. Instead of being part of the conversation, you'll now get the chance to make a change.
Are you passionate about integrated pest management and ready to develop your career with a renowned, global horticulture brand?
We're working exclusively with Royal Brinkman as they look to strengthen their team with a Technical Sales Specialist in Scotland.
What's the job?
You'll be working in partnership with growers across Scotland, predominantly soft fruit growers. While the majority of your time will be with soft fruit growers, you'll also spend time working with other protected growers.
Your role has two main parts: technical and people.
On the technical side, you'll spend your time crop walking, understanding their needs, and advising on services, products, and solutions. The core of your advice will support growers in integrated pest management (IPM), helping customers minimize chemical usage through IPM.
You'll work with the team to create and implement IPM programmes, being the expert they call when they have questions. The business is constantly developing, so you'll spend time planning and overseeing trials and supporting the launch of new products.
On the people side, your sales will come as a result of your expert technical knowledge, and you'll work with the sales manager to execute these.
You'll be the person your growers call for support, which could extend beyond IPM, as Royal Brinkman has a vast product portfolio.
What do I need?
The Royal Brinkman team is spread across the UK, so you'll be a self-starter, happy to plan and execute your days with minimal guidance.
You may come from a technical sales background or have expertise in protected fruit, salad, or ornamental growing. You'll know what good looks like for your customers because you've done it yourself.
IPM will be where your passion lies. You'll keep up to date with industry developments, successful trials, and new products, and want to share this knowledge.
While IPM is at the core of this role, Royal Brinkman supports growers with a wide range of products such as growing media, fertilizers, and other horticultural essentials. You'll be eager to continue learning and expanding your knowledge base.
It would be great if you have FACTS and BASIS qualifications, but it's not essential. For the right person, Royal Brinkman is happy to train and support.
