Experience with hydraulic systems and components.
Basic electrical knowledge and experience.
Experience designing or manufacturing jigs, fixtures and tooling.
Knowledge of robotic welding systems and automation.
Experience working from 3D CAD models.
Experience in machinery manufacturing or agricultural engineering.
What We Offer
The opportunity to work on exciting new engineering projects.
A varied role with plenty of opportunity to develop new skills.
The chance to influence how new products are designed and manufactured.
Modern manufacturing facilities and equipment.
The opportunity to work closely with an experienced engineering and R&D team.
A competitive salary based on experience.

Who We Are Looking For
We are looking for someone who enjoys a challenge, thinks outside the box and takes pride in seeing an idea develop into a finished product.
You might be an experienced fabricator who is ready for something different, someone with a passion for engineering and problem-solving, or someone who wants to move away from repetitive production work and get involved in something more varied.
If you're interested, take pride in your work, and want to be part of a team building some of the most recognised machinery in the industry, we'd love to hear from you.
