However, we  welcome applications from technicians who have worked on similar equipment with transferable skills, providing the applicant is able to deliver high quality standards of workmanship and adaptable enough to learn. So if you don't currently have agricultural experience but have a thorough understanding of engines, hydraulics and other mechanical applications we'd love to hear from you.

All applicants must be able to service and repair agricultural equipment both on farm, and in our fully equipped workshop. We expect all of our technicians to be meticulous and self-motivated.   The successful candidate will need to demonstrate drive and ambition, have excellent communication skills at all levels along with the ability to work alone and as part of a team.  In return we offer a competitive remuneration package which will be negotiable depending upon experience and additional benefits.
