Join a enterprise AgriTech company as a Agricultural Sustainability Specialist in Newcastle.
UK agriculture is under pressure to cut emissions, protect soil health and prove its sustainability credentials, often against tight regulatory deadlines.
This business sits at the sharp end of that shift, building data-led tools and advisory frameworks that help large-scale farming operations meet those targets without sacrificing yield.
As an established name in AgriTech, it has the scale and the track record to make an Agricultural Sustainability Specialist's work matter well beyond one farm or one season.
Here's what you'll be doing: Assess land, livestock and crop systems against environmental and regulatory standards, flagging risks before they become compliance problems Design and roll out sustainability improvement plans across multiple client sites, working to established frameworks Analyse soil, water and emissions data to track progress and report it clearly to clients and internal teams Advise farming partners on practical changes, from cover cropping to input reduction, that actually get adopted on the ground Keep pace with DEFRA policy and wider UK agricultural sustainability legislation, translating it into actions the business can use Contribute to large-scale sustainability projects, coordinating with agronomists, data scientists and account teams Here are the skills you'll need: A degree in agriculture, environmental science, or a related field, plus a few years working in sustainability or agronomy roles Solid grasp of UK agricultural policy and sustainability reporting standards Comfortable interpreting data sets and turning them into recommendations non-specialists can act on Confident communicator.
You'll explain technical findings to farmers one day and to a project board the next Able to manage several ongoing site assessments at once without losing attention to detail Genuine interest in AgriTech and where UK farming is heading over the next decade Key perks and benefits: Salary of £33,000 to £42,000, depending on experience Hybrid working, split between the Newcastle office and site visits across the region Private medical and dental insurance, plus an enhanced pension scheme Performance-based bonuses on top of base salary Comprehensive benefits package and structured career development within a large, established organisation Why pursue a career in AgriTech?
AgriTech is one of the few sectors where good environmental work and good business sense point the same direction, and that's rare.
Newcastle has built a genuine cluster of agricultural and environmental expertise, which makes it a sensible base for anyone serious about this field long term.
Join at mid-level now and you're well placed for the senior sustainability and policy roles this industry will need more of as regulation tightens.
