One of Europe's top producer of fresh produce is looking to take on a passionate and enthusiastic Farm Manager. They have farming operations all over Europe but you will be responsible for their baby leaf and herb farm in Kent.

The Job:

You'll be managing the site operations, ensuring production targets are met in full and within budget.

It is essential that you have experience of working in a similar position within fresh produce.
