Agricultural Coordinator | King's Lynn
Salary: Up to 35,000
Hours: Monday to Friday (Flexibility required in peak)

Keep the Supply Chain Moving

Working with 10-15 growers and growing groups, you'll be the key link between the field and the factory, ensuring production stays on track. From managing peak seasons to troubleshooting issues in real-time, you'll play a vital role in keeping supply flowing smoothly.

Starting as a desk job, this role has the opportunity to develop into a key supplier account management position with time being spent out liaising with growers. With a strong team and structured support, you'll have the autonomy to make decisions while knowing you're backed by an experienced network.

Take Charge of Seasonal and Year-Round Planning

You'll oversee key crops like peas, sweetcorn, green beans, and brassicas, ensuring a seamless transition from field to factory. Peas are a major category, with peak season running June to December, but the role extends into March with other crops. During peak times, you'll be on shift to cover operations, but outside the season, it's a Monday-to-Friday schedule.

What You'll Be Doing:

* Liaising with growers to ensure crops meet required standards and production remains full and efficient.
* Monitoring factory throughput via Agrim and keeping close communication with factory shift managers.
* Managing intake logistics and ensuring smooth processing efficiency.
* Visiting growers regularly to assess crop quality and resolve any issues.
* Attending daily PDR meetings to align with the site team.
* Supporting strategic decisions around planning, documentation, and problem resolution.
* Stepping in for the Agricultural Supervisor when required.

What Makes You a Great Fit?

* Experience in a fast-paced environment, ideally within food production or agriculture.
* Strong relationship management skills - you're comfortable dealing with growers and handling pushback when necessary.
* Excellent communication and problem-solving abilities.
* Organised and self-motivated, with the ability to work independently.
* Understanding of food safety standards (knowledge of SAP or Agrim is a bonus, but not essential).

A Role with Career Progression

Your career path doesn't stop here. The role can evolve into areas like sales, sustainability, or broader supply chain management. The team has a mix of backgrounds-including previous apprentices and experienced agri-sales professionals-so there's plenty of room to grow and shape your future within the business.
