For over 150 years, we have been committed to providing quality local advice, knowledge and expertise to growers. Nutrien Ag Solutions one of the largest agribusinesses operating in Australia with a national network of more than 700 locations.

We are currently offering a great opportunity for a driven Agronomist to join our team.  The focus of your role will be to develop strong customer relationships in this major agricultural region in Tasmania.

About the opportunity:

You will work closely with our key clients in the region to provide superior agronomic advice and inputs with a focus on horticulture agronomy and crop monitoring. You will share information with producers related to environmental and seasonal conditions affecting crop production, perform soil testing and study other factors affecting production in order to provide sound fertiliser, nutrient, and soil recommendations to improve quality and yield. The crop list grows every year with farmers looking to diversify, so we offer a great opportunity to gain exposure to a broad range of horticulture/broadacre cropping.  In addition, you will conduct field demonstrations and trial work for product development in conjunction with key suppliers. You will also work collaboratively with branch staff to drive promotions, merchandising and sales performance.

Your success in this role will be measured by:

• History of success in executing sales outcomes using your specialist knowledge of fertiliser, seed and chemical products and application applicable to those crops grown in the central highlands.
