Job Details

Greenvale is one of the UK’s leading potato businesses, supplying high-quality potatoes across the retail, food manufacturing and foodservice sectors. As part of our continued investment in our growing operations, we are seeking to appoint an outstanding Growing Manager to take responsibility for a significant potato-growing enterprise based in East Norfolk.

This is not a “keep things ticking over” role.

We are looking for an individual who can build upon an already successful operation whilst helping drive the next phase of growth, innovation and performance.

The successful candidate will oversee approximately 200 hectares of potato production, lead the existing team, coordinate agricultural contractors, maintain key landowner relationships and play a pivotal role in delivering crop performance, operational excellence and continuous improvement.

For the right individual, this represents an outstanding opportunity to take ownership of a well-established enterprise whilst helping shape its future direction within one of the UK’s most respected potato businesses.

Key Responsibilities

  • Management of potato crop production from planning through to harvest.
  • Leadership, development and motivation of the existing growing team.
  • Coordination of agricultural contractors.
  • Management of landowner and wider stakeholder relationships.
  • Delivery of crop performance, yield and quality targets.
  • Driving continuous improvement across operational efficiency and storage performance.
  • Investigation and implementation of innovation and new varieties.

The Ideal Candidate

We would welcome applications from:

  • Existing Growing Managers looking for a fresh challenge.
  • Assistant Growing Managers or ambitious Number Twos ready to step into a senior leadership role.
  • Individuals with strong potato production experience and a genuine passion for continuous improvement.

Ideally, you’ll possess:

  • Proven experience within commercial potato production.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills.
  • FACTS and BASIS qualifications (or be working towards them).
  • Commercial awareness with a practical, solutions-focused mindset.
  • A genuine desire to make a positive and lasting impact on the business.

The Package

Greenvale offers an attractive package including:

  • Excellent salary dependent upon experience.
  • Company vehicle.
  • Comprehensive benefits package.
  • Long-term career development and progression opportunities.

Why Join Greenvale?

This is an opportunity to join one of the UK’s leading potato businesses – an innovative, progressive and forward-thinking organisation that continues to invest in its people, its growing operations and the future of British agriculture.

You’ll inherit strong foundations, an experienced team and the opportunity to make a genuine difference within a highly respected and well-established business.

If you’re ambitious, passionate about potato production and ready to take the next step in your career, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
