• Identify opportunities to grow your client base and cross-sell Elders products and services
• Stay informed on local agronomic trends, R&D, and emerging technologies

To succeed at Elders, you have:

 

• Tertiary qualifications in agricultural science, agronomy or a related field
• Practical experience in broadacre agronomy, agricultural product sales, or crop consulting
• Strong technical knowledge of cropping systems and sustainable input planning
• Sound use of digital farm management systems for planning and recording recommendations
• Current driver’s licence and the ability to work independently in the field
