Technical Sales Specialist

Horticulture

Negotiable

Scotland

Sustainable growing. 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. Whilst the majority of your time will be with soft fruit growers, you'll also spend time working with other protected growers. It'll keep the role interesting!

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 services, products, and solutions.

The core of your advice will be supporting growers in integrated pest management. You'll be at the forefront of helping customers minimise chemical usage through IPM.

You'll be working 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 in the launch of new products.

On the people side, your sales will come as a result of your expert technical knowledge, and you'll be working with the sales manager to execute these.

You'll be the person your growers call for support. This could stretch further than IPM as Royal Brinkman have a huge product portfolio.

What do I need?

The Royal Brinkman team are 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. You may know the ins and outs of the role and want to work do what you're doing now for Royal Brinkman.

You might come from growing background and have expertise in protected fruit, salad, or ornamental background. You'll know what good looks like for your customers because you've done it yourself.

Either way, we want to hear from you.

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.

Whilst IPM is at the core of this role, Royal Brinkman are known for supporting growers with a wide range of products such as growing media, fertilisers and most horticultural essentials. You'll be the sort of person who wants to continue learning, and you'll enjoy having the opportunity expand your knowledge base.

It'd be great if you have FACTS and BASIS, but it's not essential. For the right person, Royal Brinkman are happy to train and support.
