Grower, Deployment
We grow the world’s BEST Strawberries & our R&D team members are a major reason why!
As part of our Research & Development Team, a Grower at Oishii contributes to our exceptional product development, and plant health by working cross-functionally to ensure the success of short term and long-range goals in both production farms and R&D farms. Growers serve as subject matter experts to our production teams monitoring & problem solving for plant health, diseases, pest, environmental stresses, quality and yield opportunities and often oversee projects or experiments in various farms to improve growing systems and to characterize plant responses in controlled environments
The role is hands-on and strategic with a large portion of time spent in the farm with our plants.
What you’ll be responsible for:
- Execute deployment initiatives to achieve yield and quality KPIs (yield and brix) across assigned farms, ensuring target environmental conditions are maintained
- Exercise daily data collection and analysis related to plant health, quality, and environmental control (including IPM) across assigned farms, and proactively share any concerns with supervisors at an early stage
- Conduct data analysis and report key messages on a daily and weekly basis through clear written summaries and visualizations; proficiently leverage multiple data sources and tools to do so
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams alongside supervisors to execute improvement actions related to assigned farms
