Our focus is to use our knowledge and experience to provide expert advice on a range of services that allows all of our client’s vineyards to be run efficiently and economically to achieve their objectives. Our clients range from small independent growers to large producers all of which have a reputation for producing premium quality grapes for super premium wines.
As Agro-Pro’s client base grows, so has our need to expand our vineyard team. We are looking to recruit an experienced Vineyard Manager capable of managing multiple sites in the North Kent/ East Kent area. Reporting directly to the company director, the successful candidate will be responsible for all of the day-to-day tasks required in managing vineyards, ensuring all manual and machinery work is completed to the required standard and budget. This is a hands-on position that requires a person that can lead by example. The majority of work will be field based during the growing season with some office work (80%/20%).
The successful candidate should be a strong leader with a viticultural degree and/or a minimum of 5 years vineyard management experience. Communication is an integral part of the role and the candidate should be proficient in giving clear, concise instructions verbally and in writing (in English) to contractors and their work force. Accurate data gathering, record keeping and reporting is also a key skill as is the ability to be innovative in solving unforeseen challenges. Some aspects of the role will involve lone working and the successful candidate should be organised and flexible in their time management and scheduling during the growing season. A good affiliation with vineyard machinery is paramount, as is the ability to drive and be able to use Microsoft Office.
This is a demanding role that requires an individual confident on delivering results that can continue to build on Agro-Pro’s reputation for producing high-quality grapes. A competitive salary and benefits package is on offer to reflect this fantastic opportunity.
