Location: Dorset, Europe

Company: De Lacy Executive
Industry Sector: Agribusiness

Career Type: Farm & Ranch Operations/Herdsperson/On Farm
Job Type: Full Time
Salary: Competitive
Job Description:

 

This role is ideal for a graduate or experienced tractor driver looking to take the next step towards farm management, while continuing to build on their practical skills.

 

Most of your time will be spent operating machinery — including drilling, relief spraying, and general arable work — but you’ll also work closely with the farm manager to gain insight into the broader running of the farm. Over time, you’ll be involved in administration, ordering, strategic planning, and leadership responsibilities, with the chance to take ownership of your own projects and liaise directly with agronomists and suppliers.

 

The farm covers 3,000 acres, primarily focused on arable cropping, with a herd of cattle integrated to support soil health and nutrient cycling. This sits within a broader commitment to biodiversity and regenerative farming practices.

 

We're looking for someone with arable experience and the drive to take on more responsibility. The farm is committed to supporting your development — including qualifications like FACTS and BASIS — with the aim of preparing you for a future farm management role, either within the business or beyond.

 

Accommodation is available as part of the package.

 

The role:

  • Drilling and general arable work
  • Relief sprayer operator
  • Machinery maintenance
  • Deputise for farm manager
  • Light administrative work
  • Hedge cutting
  • Supervising harvest workers
  • Learning from farm manager

 

What you will have:

  • Previous arable experience
  • Full UK driving licence
  • PA1 & PA2
  • Ability to operate machinery
  • Ability to work unsupervised and on your own initiative
  • NVQ level 2 or above

 

Renumeration:

  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Accommodation
  • Pension
  • Training opportunities and personal development plan
