The Role
This is your chance to step into a key role at one of the UK's largest ornamental nurseries. Based at their main site, of over 50 acres, you'll lead a team of 6, each responsible for their own area of the nursery.
Day to day, you'll be responsible for:
Running daily meetings and allocating tasks across the growing team
Overseeing irrigation, spacing, feeding, and pest & disease control
Supporting crop walking and monitoring, identifying issues early and acting fast
Managing rotas, weekend cover, and providing holiday cover when needed
Ensuring effective biological and chemical crop protection programmes
Keeping the site in top condition - tidy beds, clear roadways, and well-maintained equipment
Developing and supporting apprentices and crop technicians to grow their skills.
Working closely with operations and technical colleagues to deliver ready plants on time and to spec.
You'll work alongside an experienced Growing Manager and Assistant Technical Manager, with plenty of autonomy to lead but the support of a highly knowledgeable team.
About You
Experience working in commercial nursery production - ideally ornamentals.
Strong plant knowledge, including crop health, pests, and disease management.
Supervisory or team leader experience in horticulture
Practical, hands-on, and proactive.
Ideally, you'll also hold a qualification in horticulture and your PA1 or PA6.
This role is ideal if you're ready to step up into a bigger leadership role, with the chance to progress further as the business continues to grow.
