| SALES & CUSTOMER SUPPORT - AGRICULTURAL SECTOR | CHORLEYWOOD | CWD/BISY | March 02 2021 | June 30 2021 | Open/Close |
An exciting opportunity has arisen at our head office in Hertfordshire for an individual that can lend their skills to a newly formed role in our Biosystems team supporting growth of Tropical Marine Centre.
Biosystems is the commercial division (B2B) of Tropical Marine Centre Ltd, a world-leading marine livestock business which also manufactures and distributes a large range of products associated with fishkeeping and animal husbandry. Whilst our core business is aquatic, we have been expanding our offerings into the Agri sector, primarily through the development of our LED lighting and control systems.
Our drive and passion is to take our wealth of knowledge and understanding of the importance of light as a primary driver of biological processes, and couple this to the photic requirements of the animal. From this, we design and develop lighting systems to deliver the correct spectrum, intensity, and photoperiod to replicate natural lighting and light cycles for the animal, reducing stress and increasing animal welfare. This is an exciting area to be working in, as we are not only able to offer wellbeing benefits, but also deliver real savings through for example improved food conversion ratios, reduced aggression and mortalities as well as energy savings and a reduction in carbon footprint.

Our lighting systems, as well as our recirculating water filtration systems are also widely used in Aquatic, Aquaculture, Public Aquarium and R&D institutes.
We are looking for a confident and enthusiastic individual, who encompasses our core values: passion, expertise, pride, commitment and a "can do" attitude.
Ideally the candidate will have had experience within the pig and poultry sectors, but other agricultural/Aquaculture experience will also be considered. Full training is given with regards to our products.
This is an opportunity to lead Biosystems into the Agri-sector and achieve growth by carving out your role through high performance and support the business to explore opportunities in various markets.
We are looking for an immediate start.
