About the company: Dudutech is Africa’s leader in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) with a wealth of experience in designing and delivering biological pest control solutions developed “By Growers for Growers.” We research, develop, and supply zero-residue biological control products for environmentally and socially intelligent farming. To further support the pest control needs of growers, we have an on-site diagnostics laboratory to accurately identify pests and a training department to promote their understanding. Established in 2001, we have rapidly grown into a global biotechnology business, employing leading entomologists and microbiologists to develop solutions to reduce pesticide use, and improve soil health and long-term sustainability in agriculture.

Project Description: We would like a data analyst to help us design production performance management systems in our macrobiological and microbiobiological production units, building and developing the systems used to track performance and the planning of production of insects and fungi that we use as biopesticides. To ensure that we are producing to the best of our ability from a quality and planning perspective, our goal is for our business to be fully data driven by end of 2019; this project will be at the heart of our efforts.
