Why this role?
This is an chance to take a leadership role at the intersection of agriculture, drones and artificial intelligence.
You'll help build and support a national field team delivering technology that enables growers to move from traditional blanket spraying practices towards precise, targeted weed management.
If you enjoy agriculture, technology, solving problems in the field and helping a team perform at its best, we'd like to hear from you.
