Technical Sales Consultant

Overview

Love supporting growers with high-quality horticultural advice? This is a flexible opportunity to join a well-established, forward-thinking horticulture business operating at the forefront of biological pest control, IPM and pollination. With a strong UK presence and international backing, the business is known for its technical credibility, innovative approach to horticulture, and commitment to sustainable growing. If you’re technically strong, enjoy working closely with growers, and want a role that can be shaped around your strengths, this could be an excellent next step.

What’s on offer?

• Competitive salary DOE
• Performance-related bonus
• Home-based role with a national horticulture remit
• Formal training and ongoing development
• A role shaped around your strengths – senior technical specialist or future leader

What’s the job?

You’ll work directly with commercial growers, providing high-quality technical advice across biological control, IPM and pollination within horticultural cropping systems. You’ll build strong, trusted relationships across ornamentals, fresh produce, vertical farming and more.

Depending on your experience and ambition, the role can remain purely technical and customer-facing or develop into a senior or mentoring position supporting others within the horticultural technical team.

Day to day, you’ll be:

• Visiting growers to deliver in-depth technical advice on IPM and biological solutions
• Crop walking, diagnosing pest and disease challenges, and building tailored IPM strategies
• Supporting horticulture customers throughout the season with regular visits and follow-up
• Sharing technical insight and IPM best practice with colleagues
• Feeding market and crop intelligence back into the wider horticulture business
• Contributing to trials, technical projects, and product development
• Optionally mentoring junior colleagues or supporting leadership activity if this interests you

This is a home-based role with regular travel and overnight stays during the working week.

What do I need?

• Strong, hands-on experience supplying technical products or advice to commercial horticulture growers
• A deep understanding of IPM and biological pest control within horticulture
• Confidence holding technical conversations with growers, agronomists, and stakeholders
• BASIS and/or FACTS preferred (training and support available)
• Comfortable working independently and managing your own diary

There is no requirement to manage people, but if you do want to develop into leadership within horticulture, there’s a clear pathway and strong support in place.
