• Delivering practical recommendations that support profitability, efficiency, sustainability and resilience.
• Supporting clients with areas such as nutrition, fertility, forage and soil management, livestock housing, farm infrastructure, environmental compliance, organic production and diversification.
• Helping farmers review business performance, plan for the future and make informed decisions.
• Growing and developing your own client base over time.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues across Promar and the wider business.
• Taking part in team meetings, company events, agricultural shows, conferences and industry networking opportunities.

• Experience in agriculture, farm consultancy (big plus), technical sales, nutrition, farm business management or another client-facing agricultural role would be valuable.
• An agricultural, agriscience or business-related qualification would also be beneficial, but we are open to different backgrounds where you can demonstrate relevant knowledge, credibility and a strong interest in supporting farming clients.

Joining Promar means joining a business with a long-standing reputation for insight, reliability and practical support. Our consultants work side by side with farmers, helping them navigate challenges, unlock opportunities and prepare for the future.
