Skilled Operator

We are working with a progressive, large-scale farming business looking to recruit a Skilled Operator to join their established team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with solid arable experience, or a capable operator looking to broaden their skillset across both arable and/or vegetable production.

The Business

The farm operates across approximately 1,600 hectares growing a diverse rotation of over 20 crop types, including cereals, oilseeds, sugar beet, and vegetable crops such as brassicas.

With a strong focus on early and winter production, the farm benefits from a unique climate that allows for year-round harvesting. Sustainability is also a key priority, with initiatives in place around biodiversity net gain and environmental stewardship.

The Role

You will play a key role in day-to-day field operations, working within a structured team and reporting structure.

Key responsibilities include

• Drilling
• Relief spraying
• Combine operation during harvest
• General cultivations and fieldwork
• Supporting vegetable operations where required

There is a strong team culture, and you'll be working alongside experienced operators as well as helping support trainees.

• has proven experience in arable and/or vegetable operations
• is confident operating modern machinery
• ideally holds spraying certificates (PA1/PA2)
• has a proactive and team-oriented approach
• is capable of working to a high standard with attention to detail

Desirable (but not essential)

• Experience with irrigation systems
• Exposure to vegetable or mixed cropping systems

What's on Offer

• £DOE
• Accommodation available - 3-bed semi-detached property close to the farm with discounted estate rent
• Ongoing training and upskilling opportunities
• Exposure to a highly diverse and technically progressive farming system

Why Apply?

• a highly diverse cropping system
• year-round operational activity
• strong investment in people, training, and development
• a collaborative and well-structured team environment

If you're looking to take the next step in your farming career within a progressive and supportive business, we'd love to hear from you.
