If you are the type of student who is interested in how things are taken apart and put back together, then read on. If you want to learn vocationally with class-leading support from one of the most recognizable brands in the world, you could be in the right place. If you want to learn at a company that is at the cutting edge of modern technology, then we want to hear from you.

As one of the UK’s most forward-thinking machinery dealerships, Tallis Amos is offering you the chance of a John Deere apprenticeship, providing you with a world-class education in mechanical engineering and structured prospects for future career development within our company.

The Turf Tech apprenticeship is a three-year course working on machines used within the sports turf industry, leading you to a John Deere Diploma which is equivalent to NVQ/A Level. The program will develop your skills and proficiency in a wide range of technical areas. During the three years, you will learn all about mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical systems within John Deere machinery.

You will be mentored by a time-served engineer who will help you in your development and guide you with best practices in on-the-job situational learning. You will spend time away each year at the John Deere UK training centre in Langar, Nottinghamshire, learning the theory of your role and then returning to the depot to work closely with your mentor, putting this knowledge into practice.

Entry requirements include a grade 4 or above in Maths and English, as well as the ability to pass a mechanical aptitude test. The apprenticeship is run in line with ProVQ, who are John Deere’s structured learning and assessment partner for this program and provide support services while you are in our program, enabling you to achieve the highest standard of work for our customers.

Applications should be made with a CV and cover letter written without AI in Word or PDF format. The closing date for applications will be 1200 on Saturday 31st May 2025, with interviews to be scheduled at the end of June 2025, ready for apprentices to start their journey in September 2025.

In return for this TAG offer, you will receive an excellent pay and benefits package with overtime and incentive structure, pension scheme, generous holiday allowance, and Vitality Health. In addition, TAG is committed to the ongoing professional development of all staff and offers each team member the chance to hone their skill set through class-leading CPD and in-house training.
