About the job

Technical Coordinator (M/F/N)

• Full time

Company Description

As a global leader in the plant health market, we help farmers protect crops and thus ensure safe, nutritious, and accessible food for all – while minimising the use of land and other agricultural inputs.

Syngenta Crop Protection protects plants from sowing to harvest: from the moment the seed is planted until harvest, crops must be protected from weeds, insects and diseases, as well as drought and flooding, heat and cold. Syngenta Crop Protection's headquarters are located in Switzerland.

Syngenta Monthey is a production site for active substances, employing 900 staff. Its activities are mainly related to plant protection and, to a lesser extent, the Professional Products sector.
