Do you want to discover the world of horticulture
and be trained to become a specialist?

From a raw material extraction site in Estonia to a substrate producer in the Netherlands: at RHP, you will have the unique opportunity to look behind the scenes at companies all over the world. You will learn all about growing media and their quality and sustainability, and gradually grow into a technical specialist in an international field.

RHP is the international knowledge centre for potting soil and growing media. Our quality marks are used worldwide by substrate producers and raw material suppliers. From our office in ’s-Gravenzande, the Netherlands, we work every day on the quality, safety and sustainability of growing media for professional horticulture and the consumer market.

Junior Technical Advisor Growing Media

• assess raw materials, growing media and production processes
• translate research results into practical applications
• analyse quality issues
• support producers with technical questions
• prepare presentations and training sessions
• visit companies in the Netherlands and abroad

You do not need to be a specialist yet. What matters most is that you are curious, eager to learn and interested in technology, sustainability and horticulture.

We are looking for someone with:

• A completed higher professional or academic degree, preferably in horticulture
• Good communication skills
• A good command of Dutch and English
• Willingness to travel internationally

At RHP, you will work in a small, close-knit and expert team that will welcome you warmly.
