Development Agronomist

Do you love travel, thrive outdoors, and get a kick out of turning great science into real-world results?

We're working with an innovative agri-tech company that's revolutionising how farmers grow in water-stressed regions, and they're looking for an Agronomist to join their growing team.

If you've got a solid understanding of crops, soils, and irrigation, and you're ready to see the world while making a difference, this could be the adventure your career's been waiting for.

About the Company

Our client is a fast-growing, sustainability-driven agri-tech business with a breakthrough product helping growers dramatically cut water use while improving crop performance.
They're a small but mighty team of scientists and technical specialists working across multiple continents to prove and promote their innovative solution.

With a strong pipeline of field trials, regulatory approvals, and commercial projects underway, they're now looking to expand their technical field team to keep up with global demand.

The Role

This isn't your average agronomy job. You'll be out in the field - literally - all around the world, working to manage crop trials, collect data, and help local growers and distributors get the best from this technology.

Your role will include:

Designing and managing field trials across regions such as Zambia, the Americas, and beyond
Gathering data on soil moisture, yield, and water-use efficiency, and making sure trials are executed properly
Analysing results and producing clear, actionable reports
Engaging with growers, agronomists, and distributors to share insights and support product adoption
Representing the company at trade shows and grower events (think Mexico, not Milton Keynes)
Between travel, you'll collate trial data, write reports, and stay in touch with your colleagues via regular online meetings, it's a close-knit, supportive team, even if you're often on different continents you'll still speak daily.

About You

You'll be the kind of person who thrives in a practical environment and loves being out on farms as much as analysing data back at your desk. You'll be confident enough to work independently but collaborative enough to stay connected with a team.

A degree in Agronomy, Soil Science, or related field
Experience in field trials, irrigation systems, and data analysis
A commercial mindset, you can turn data into stories that resonate with growers
Strong communication and cross-cultural relationship skills
Willingness to travel extensively (some months this could be 3 out of 4 weeks)
Self-motivation, reliability, and a sense of adventure

Bonus points if you:

Speak Spanish or have experience working internationally
Have your BASIS & FACTS (or be keen to work toward them)
Know your way around Excel and agronomic data software

What's in It for You

Competitive salary (£40-50K DOE)
10% pension
Private medical & life insurance
25 days' holiday + BH
Bonus scheme

If you're excited by the idea of spending part of your month in Africa or Latin America, helping farmers save water and improve yields then this could be the role for you.
