Who We Are

Koppert Biological Systems is the worldwide market leader in integrated pest management and disease management. Founded in 1967 by visionary Dutch grower Jan Koppert, we stand at the forefront of sustainable agriculture. Our mission is to make agriculture healthier, safer, and more productive by partnering with nature. We achieve this through the use of natural enemies to combat pests, employing bumblebees for pollination, and leveraging microbials and bio stimulants to support, protect, and strengthen crops.

With a clear vision of achieving 100% sustainable agriculture, we collaborate with growers, partners, universities, research institutions, and governmental bodies globally to meet the highest food safety demands while contributing to the better health of people and the planet.

About the Role

As an R&D Scientist, you will merge analytics and systematic investigation with specialized knowledge of the biology and mass production of bumblebees and beneficial insects to drive successful production programs. Working cross-functionally, you will actively contribute to the development and continuous improvement of production processes to ensure efficient, cost-effective, high-quality products.

Your day will involve performing hands-on bench or field work, translating research questions into practical, testable hypotheses, and managing project workflows from conceptualization through execution and analysis. You will serve as an internal subject matter expert, leveraging analytics to improve biological systems while supporting Quality Assurance, Material Planning, Logistics, and Production departments.
