Job description

WANTED: AGRICULTURAL ENGINEER - CAMBRIDGE

£44,000 + OVERTIME

Field Service | Monday-Friday | Weekends Are Yours

Do you enjoy fixing machines that are bigger than your house and muddier than your wellies? Do you believe a good day's work involves hydraulics, diesel, and at least one "who designed this?!" moment? If so, read on.

The Role

We're on the hunt for an Agricultural Engineer to roam the picturesque fields of Cambridge, rescuing tractors, combines, and assorted farm monsters from mechanical despair.

You’ll be

• Fixing agricultural machinery in the wild (fields, yards, occasionally in the rain)
• Diagnosing faults using skill, experience, and the ancient art of "listening to it"
• Keeping farmers happy so the crops don't revolt
• Driving a fully kitted service van that becomes your second home

The Good Stuff

• £44,000 basic salary
• Plenty of overtime (because money > boredom)
• Monday to Friday only - weekends are sacred
• Field service role (no workshop politics)
• Proper tools, proper kit, proper support
• Are an experienced Agricultural Engineer (or similar heavy plant wizard)
• Can diagnose electrics, hydraulics, and mechanical faults without crying
• Don't mind mud, weather, or the occasional curious cow
• Hold a full UK driving licence
• Prefer engines to emails

Bonus Points If

• You can fix it "just enough" to get harvest finished
• You've ever said "they don't build them like they used to"
• You own more work clothes than casual ones

This is more than just another technician role - it's your chance to join a trusted team where your skill is respected, your input matters, and your work makes a real difference every day.
