Benjamin Edwards

Technical Beverage Industry Professional | Winery, Vineyard Operations & Production

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

About

I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience in winemaking and vineyard operations, working across harvest management, production control, and quality assurance in both Australia and Europe. Through my operational background in agriculture and more recent client-facing commercial experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of both field-level challenges and business growth. I understand the pressures growers face, input timing, disease management, yield risk, and margin realities, and I’m motivated to work in field-based agricultural sales and advisory roles where practical credibility meets commercial performance. Currently open to opportunities in agricultural sales, territory management, ag-tech, and technical advisory positions.
