AddressClient success position based in Sunraysia, Vic
Phytech have grown to become the largest IoT Agtech service provider in Australia. The Phytech service centres around a range of proprietary plant and environmental sensors, along with cloud based algorithms, that enable growers to view the real time irrigation needs of their crops. Data is collected and analysed automatically, then displayed to the grower using a simple smartphone and web interface. This leads to improved water use efficiency, optimised yields and higher quality produce. Phytech has also expanded into the irrigation automation sector, providing growers with the ability to remotely program their irrigation system. The business model is “as-a-service” for both hardware and software, whereby the client pays a seasonal subscription fee rather than purchasing the specialised hardware and software themselves. Target irrigated crops include almonds, citrus, avocado, stonefruit & grapes.
Agronomic Support Officer - Sunraysia
- Based in the greater Mildura area.
- Servicing the Sunraysia region from Swan Hill to Lake Cullulleraine.
- Reporting to the Sunraysia Territory Manager.
- The primary objective of this role is to provide Agronomic Support and training to existing clients. Some of this will be face-to-face with the orchard/irrigation manager at their site, and some will be by phone or Zoom meeting. You must be passionate about wanting to help the client succeed in achieving better outcomes. The agronomic decisions are based on the data collected by the sensors in the client's operation, not by gut feeling. Phytech will provide the necessary training to read and interpret the data.

- You must be willing and able to work outside in an orchard environment from time-to-time. There is no heavy lifting but you will be exposed to a wide range of physical movement (bending, kneeling, reaching, etc).
- Work autonomously from home or the Mildura office without direct supervision.
- Regular daily travel throughout the Sunraysia region that may require an occasional night away from home. You must maintain a valid Australian drivers license.
- An understanding of horticultural irrigation operation, maintenance or design is preferred
- Experience working with, or for, horticultural organisations will be highly regarded, or a formal qualification in an agricultural field.
- This role would be well suited to a graduate agronomist, providing experience and exposure working with some of Australia's largest and most progressive horticultural businesses.
- A base salary and commission/bonus structure commensurate with experience, plus a company vehicle, phone, computer and superannuation is on offer.
- You must have the legal right to live and work in Australia to be considered for the role.
