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.
About You
We are looking for someone who:
- 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?
This is a rare opportunity to join a forward-thinking farming business with:
- 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.
