Senior Skilled Arable Operator in Ely

We're working with a progressive, family-run farming business in Cambridgeshire that's looking for an experienced Senior Arable Operator to join its team.

Farming around 6,000 acres alongside a sizeable beef enterprise, this is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on, takes pride in their work and wants to take real responsibility within a well-equipped arable operation.

The role

You'll be involved in the day-to-day running of the arable operation, with a focus on drilling, cultivations and spraying, as well as helping out with harvest, forage and general farm work when needed.

You'll be working with a modern, well-maintained fleet of tractors, cultivation equipment, a self-propelled sprayer, combine and forage harvester.

What we're looking for

• Good experience operating modern arable machinery, ideally with GPS.

• Confidence with drilling, cultivations and spraying. PA certificates would be a bonus.

• Someone who takes pride in doing a job properly and looks after machinery.

• A practical, reliable approach and the ability to work independently.

• Someone happy to muck in with the wider team and put the hours in when the season demands it.

• A full driving licence.

What's on offer?

• Competitive basic salary, depending on experience.

• Seasonal/performance bonus.

• Modern machinery and a well-equipped farming operation.

• A long-term role with plenty of responsibility and scope to develop.

• A straightforward working environment where people are trusted to get on with the job.
