Are you an experienced greenhouse professional with a sharp eye for crop quality? Join our team and take on a key role in developing tomorrow's vegetable varieties.

At our R&D site in Bergschenhoek, you'll work hands-on with vegetable crops — tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers — supporting the breeding process from seedling to harvest. Your experience allows you to work independently, safeguard the quality of ongoing trials and act as a go-to for less experienced colleagues.

• Carry out and guide activities such as transplanting, pruning and pollinating

• Identify, diagnose and report diseases and irregularities

• Play an active role in setting up trials and accurately recording research data

• Share knowledge and provide day-to-day guidance to junior team members

Creating value to, on and beyond the farm by offering tailored solutions, that’s what we do. At Bayer Vegetable Seeds, we are dedicated to developing new vegetable seed varieties that growers around the world can cultivate. By combining our passion and in-depth knowledge, we strive for crop optimization and innovation for the benefit of farmers, consumers and our planet. From glasshouses to open fields, we join our forces with science and mother nature to advance health and nutrition. Do you want to join this team as well?

WHO YOU ARE

• MBO/HBO background in agronomy, horticulture or a related field

• At least 3 years of relevant experience in greenhouse horticulture or plant breeding

• Crop protection licence

• Self-starting, proactive and able to bring colleagues along in your approach
