• Contributing to strategic initiatives regarding the future use of degassed biomass and other fertilizer products

• Working with Supply Chain to maintain and develop contractual and logistical solutions

• Collaborating with Business Development on new biogas plant projects nationally and internationally, including drafting contracts with agricultural partners

• Supporting Asset Management (operations) with quality assurance of fertilizer products, values, and sales channels

• Assisting Asset Management with day-to-day operational tasks such as contract and relationship management

• Partnering with HSSE and Corporate Relations to ensure compliance with agricultural legislation (e.g., Livestock Manure Order, Waste to Soil Order, Organic Order)

• Collaborating with Procurement on sourcing biomass, particularly agricultural biomass

What we need from you

• Relevant educational background in agronomy or a related field

• Strong expertise in fertilization and crop cultivation, including manure and degassed biomass management

• 3–5 years of experience in crop advisory or plant production advisory roles

• Proven experience working with and advising farmers

• Ability to work independently in a structured manner, combined with strong strategic thinking skills

• Results-oriented, proactive, communicative, and resilient personality

• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build and maintain relationships internally and externally

• Experience facilitating meetings or conferences with larger groups of farmers and collaborating constructively with industry bodies and authorities

• Proficiency in English (written and spoken) and willingness to travel internationally (approximately 20–30 days per year)
