Role Purpose

To oversee agronomic trials, data collection, and analysis for HarvestGlow’s precision fertigation systems, ensuring evidence-based decision-making and rigorous impact measurement.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

Agronomic Trial Management

• Design and manage field trials comparing precision fertigation vs conventional practices.
• Establish crop calendars, fertilizer regimes, irrigation schedules, and sampling protocols.
• Monitor crop growth, phenology, pest/disease incidence, and yield performance.

Soil, Water & Nutrient Monitoring

• Conduct soil sampling and interpret soil fertility, moisture, and health indicators.
• Track nutrient application, uptake efficiency, and crop response.
• Monitor water use efficiency and irrigation effectiveness.

Data Management & Digital Tools

• Manage IoT sensors (soil moisture, flow meters, energy meters) and digital data platforms.
• Ensure accurate data collection, cleaning, storage, and quality control.
• Analyze agronomic, water, and nutrient data using statistical and analytical tools.

Learning & Knowledge Products

• Translate field data into insights, dashboards, briefs, and learning notes.
• Support development of best-practice manuals and decision-support tools.
• Contribute to publications, presentations, and stakeholder learning events.

Qualifications & Experience

• BSc or MSc in Agronomy, Soil Science, Crop Science, or Agricultural Data Analytics.
• At least 3 years’ experience in field research or agronomic trials.
• Experience with digital data collection tools and basic statistical analysis.
• Strong reporting, analytical, and field coordination skills.
