Trial Leader/Location Manager at Öjebyn Agro Park

Do you have a strong interest in the future of agriculture and enjoy driving development forward? Welcome to apply for the position of Trial Leader/Location Manager for our trial operations in Öjebyn, Piteå municipality.

We offer you a stimulating and enjoyable job with varying tasks throughout the year depending on the season.

About Öjebyn Agro Park

The Agricultural Society's trial farm and its staff at Öjebyn Agro Park are unique with their knowledge and experience in field trials with agricultural crops such as forage and cereals, berries, and vegetables. Öjebyn Agro Park is one of four trial sites north of the Dalälven River and the only one north of Umeå for variety testing of forage and cereal crops adapted to our northern climate. Öjebyn Agro Park is also the only trial farm in Norrland where we test fruit, berry, and vegetable varieties that can withstand our special conditions. We are currently engaged in an exciting effort to develop the trial farm into the green knowledge hub in the north.

About the Position

In this role, you will be responsible for our field trials within the Agricultural Society of Norrbotten-Västerbotten and be the location manager for Agro Park in Öjebyn, Piteå municipality, where the position is also located. Our operational area covers our two counties, Norrbotten and Västerbotten. As the location manager, you will have personnel and operational responsibility, as well as budget and financial responsibility.

Your job includes planning, placement, execution, compilation, and statistical processing of the field trials in our work area, as well as networking and customer contacts. You will work in a team with a sometimes fast pace, a high ceiling, and great freedom under your own responsibility. The trial leader also has responsibility as a supervisor in the trials and is responsible for ensuring that we stay at the forefront in terms of quality and customer satisfaction in the trials.

In your role, you will be responsible for analyzing current issues related to cultivation in agriculture and horticulture, in collaboration with researchers, representatives from the agricultural industry, and colleagues, which will form the basis for new field trials at Öjebyn Agro Park.

About You

Since the work involves contacts with clients for trials and projects, we value your ability to lead, express yourself verbally and in writing, as well as high social competence and quality awareness. To thrive in this role, a strong commitment to the team, the whole, and the results is necessary. You enjoy working in an environment where you operate as a team, you are communicative, and you involve your colleagues in the common work. We prefer that you are educated as an agronomist, agricultural engineer, horticulturist, or equivalent, preferably with previous experience in trial operations and basic competence in statistics.

You have previous experience in leading personnel and a good ability to plan and delegate tasks to the team. Experience in budget work and finance is an advantage.

Requirements

  • Agricultural education or very good experience in crop cultivation
  • Experience in personnel management
  • Good knowledge of expressing yourself verbally and in writing.

We Offer
