Stockseed Production Specialist
Stockseed Production Specialist
Andijk, NorthHolland, NL
Some people like to sit behind a desk. You prefer to stand with your boots among the crops. At KWS Vegetables, we are looking for a Stockseed Production Specialist who likes to roll up his sleeves and play a crucial role in the development of future vegetable varieties. You are literally at the basis of our innovation. The parent line seed that you help produce is eventually used for the commercial varieties that growers grow worldwide.
From selecting seed productions and guiding growers to cleaning seed and analyzing production data, you are in the middle of the process. In the spring and summer, you will travel the country and visit production locations throughout the Netherlands. In the winter, you will work from Andijk on the processing and preparation of the next generation of seed productions.
You will become part of a small, committed team that literally forms the basis of our breeding. You will work closely with growers and colleagues within R&D and report directly to the Stockseed Production Manager.
To seed your future, you've got the following skills:
- An MBO diploma in Plant Breeding, Agricultural Business Administration or a similar green direction.
- Affinity with cultivation, seed production and the agricultural sector.
- A keen eye for detail and a strong quality awareness.
- You work independently, take initiative and think in terms of solutions.
- Good organizational and planning skills.
- You enjoy working alternately in the greenhouse, at production locations, in the warehouse and in the office.
- In possession of driving license B.
- Good command of the Dutch and English language.
- A forklift certificate is a nice bonus.
Why you want to become part of our Vegetable Squad:
- You will be working for a growing and international vegetable breeding company.
- You will have a varied position in which greenhouse work, fieldwork, warehouse work and office work come together.
- You contribute directly to the development of the vegetable varieties of tomorrow.
- You will work together with enthusiastic colleagues who have a passion for plants, innovation and quality.
- You will be given the space to take initiative and develop yourself further.
