You’ll be hands-on in the field, immersed in the dairy environment, ensuring the seamless operation of our advanced robotic milking and feeding solutions. From troubleshooting and training to collaborating with our international colleagues, you’ll be an essential part of our mission to make farmers’ lives easier and more productive.

Key Responsibilities

  • Maintain strong relationships with dealers and customers.
  • Participate in a rotating on-call support roster.

About You

We’re looking for someone who is technically proficient, self-motivated, and customer-focused. You’re just as comfortable in the paddock as you are analysing data or training a room full of people.

  • Excellent problem-solving and forward planning abilities
