The latest addition to Dyson Farming’s circular farming system is its glasshouse in Carrington, Lincolnshire. It supports the advancement of high-tech, sustainable farming in the UK, avoiding unnecessary food miles that come from imported strawberries at this time of year. The site is expanding significantly, adding a further glasshouse and polytunnel production alongside the existing facility.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a Maintenance Manager to move our maintenance function from reactive repair to managed asset care, across an increasingly larger scope. This is a new position reflecting a site that is expanding to add a further glasshouse and polytunnel production alongside the existing facility and packhouse, bringing in new equipment and requirements as well as just scale.
You will own the planned maintenance system, the asset register and the maintenance budget, while leading a small operative team and a contractor base. The measure of success is straightforward: fewer failures, less downtime, and a maintenance regime aimed at keeping people safe and our crop secure.
It suits an experienced, hands-on engineer who wants to own a system rather than only run the jobs.
The Job
Personal
At Dyson Farming we’re driven by innovative farming and great ideas. For us, it’s all about building a diverse business with strong long-term goals.
Everyone is familiar with Sir James Dyson. He’s celebrated for approaching things from new angles and coming up with innovative, progressive technology. But what few people know is that he has an inherent passion for farming. Born and raised in rural Norfolk, Sir James spent his formative years discovering and working with his local farming community.
As a rapidly growing business, we recognise the contribution of each and every member of our team in the successful operation of all our activities. We pride ourselves on being a local employer of choice, and it’s no exaggeration to say that our employees are like family to us. We recognise and appreciate the effort made by every single member of staff.
