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, keeping the role interesting!

Your role has two main parts: Technical and People.

Technical Responsibilities:

Crop walking, understanding grower needs, and advising on services, products, and solutions. Supporting growers in integrated pest management (IPM) and helping customers minimize chemical usage. Working with the team to create and implement IPM programs. Planning and overseeing trials and supporting the launch of new products.

People Responsibilities: Utilizing your expert technical knowledge to drive sales. Collaborating with the sales manager to execute sales strategies. Providing support to growers beyond IPM, leveraging Royal Brinkman's extensive 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 might come from a technical sales background or a growing background with expertise in protected fruit, salad, or ornamental horticulture. You'll understand 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 is known for supporting 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.

Who are Royal Brinkman?

Royal Brinkman UK is a global supplier specializing in horticultural supplies, systems, and services. Founded in the Netherlands in 1885, they have grown to become a key partner for commercial growers, focusing on optimizing crop production and sustainability through tailored products, advice, and services.

What's next?
