Arevo is looking for an agronomist/ trial technician

As an Agronomist / Trial Technician with us at Arevo, you work operationally in our R&D department where you will oversee our field trials. You keep the process together from planning field studies, instructing field sites, organizing shipment of seeds and products to field sites, visiting trials, collecting, and analyzing data and reporting results of experiments performed. You have experience in setting up and performing field trials and an interest in sustainable agriculture. Your knowledge about fertilizing practices of different crops, technical details about field machinery and pest management will complement our knowledge within Arevo.

In summary, your duties consist of:

• Being responsible for our field operations as a whole (including our own local field sites, but also global contract field stations)
• Developing outlines for field testing of diverse crops, including row spacing, fertilizing and pest management recommendation
• Communicating test plans with field stations globally, and manage the trials
• Following up on results, analyzing and evaluating outcome
• Basic crop quality measurements in our labs
• Giving feedback to our development team
• In off season: help out in our on-site greenhouse facilities

You complement our team by:

• Having a bachelor's degree in agricultural sciences or equivalent; or equivalent practical hands-on experience of about 5 years or more. 
• Having knowledge of plant production (plant protection, different cropping systems, plant breeding, cultivation techniques, plant nutrition and water supply and impact of cultivation on soil and biodiversity).
• Having good knowledge of Excel and data processing.
• Being a motivated, curious, and passionate person that is interested in making a difference in your professional life.
• Being a team player that likes to take initiative.
• Being able to also work independently and take responsibility, are creative and can organize yourself very well.

Arevo is a growing organization and we believe that you feel strongly about our purpose and are driven by breaking new ground to develop Arevo’s business. You are a purposeful, solution-oriented, and relationship-building person. It will be a merit if you have experience in giving advice to agricultural stakeholders in nutrient management as well if you have practical experience in cultivating crops yourself. The role requires fluency in English in both speech and writing as well as experience of working in the Office suite. It is a plus to be fluent of either language such as German/French/Spanish. Swedish language is not required! Some travel may occur in connection with field studies and therefore a driver's license is a requirement.

You can look forward to this:

• A varied range of tasks in our highly motivated team with flat hierarchies and short decision-making paths.
• Flexible working arrangements.
• A long-term perspective with a permanent full-time contract at Arevo.
• A good work life balance including health benefits, vacation allowance, possibility to get a job bike.
• Collectively bargained vacation days as well as a corporate pension plan.
