NIAB is looking to recruit Field Trial Technicians to work on a range of trials. The roles will involve plot assessment, crop harvest, and seed handling for the wider trials programme and plot drilling, while developing professional skills in team working, time management and practical problem solving.

Applicants will need to demonstrate an interest in agriculture/plant sciences and be willing to learn, with full training provided throughout the season. A good eye for detail is also essential, along with the ability to follow strict protocols. Applicants will also need to demonstrate good communication skills, both verbally and written, with the ability to work as part of a team. The work can be physically demanding, and may entail spending substantial periods working outdoors, in all weather conditions.

The roles are Cambridge based, but there may be a requirement to work at off-site trials. A full driving licence is desirable, but not essential.

Contract lengths can be negotiable depending on availability or initially 8 weeks.

Salary from £17,662 to £18,278 per annum depending on experience.
