With your activities you keep the flowers range True To Type as it was intended during the creation of the genetics and you ensure that the genetics remain producible. You plan and execute the TTT and variety purity tests.

TTT and purity is described for each variety and parent line. Where there are no good crop descriptions, you create them with the help of the crop breeder.

Your work is a crucial part of our quality management system. You support and work together with crop breeders, production teams and the starter material manager. You are the pivot that ensures that the quality of the starter material remains good or even improved.

Your profile

Your completed a bachelor’s in horticulture or plant breeding degree fits perfectly with this position, as does your experience and knowledge of computer systems (PMD, Terra, Reliance, MS Office, Excel).

You are fluent in Dutch and English. You communicate easily with people at different levels. You have a helicopter view, are proactive and accurate.
