Junior Grower

This is you

  • You enjoy both cultivation and technology
  • You thrive in a varied, dynamic work environment
  • You think ahead and continuously seek improvements
  • You work precisely and maintain focus on biological balance
  • You are comfortable working both independently and as part of a team
  • You are eager to learn and open to further professional development

This is what we offer you

  • A varied job averaging 40 hours per week
  • Salary between €2,800 and €3,650, depending on your experience and commitment (based on a 40-hour workweek)
  • 25.5 vacation days (on full-time basis) to recharge and enjoy time off.
  • Growth opportunities to become cultivation manager at your own location
  • A dynamic workplace where quality, innovation, and development are central

Why this is right for you

Would you like to work with the latest techniques in greenhouse horticulture and contribute every day to the cultivation of top-quality cucumbers? At ACRES, as a Junior Cultivation Specialist, you’ll combine technology, biology, and cultivation in a modern greenhouse. You’ll be given a lot of responsibility, plenty of variety, and every opportunity to further develop your skills.

Why this is not for you

  • You're looking for a 9-to-5 office job (we require and offer more flexibility)
  • You want to work mostly behind a desk (with us, it's only 5% of your time)

What will your responsibilities be?

As a Junior Grower, you’ll work at ACRES spark every day to ensure the optimal growth of our cucumber plants. You’ll maintain the balance between technology, cultivation, and nature. You’ll monitor the plants, check water levels and nutrient levels, adjust the climate, and apply biological methods where necessary. You’ll also resolve various issues and ensure that all processes continue to run smoothly. You walk through the crop daily to monitor growth, identify anomalies, and implement improvements. You perform quality control and carry out logistical tasks. During vacations, you’ll stand in for the Grower Manager and the Labor Site Manager. This means every day is different, and every day you’ll make the growing process a little better.
