At Lely Center Yeovil, we’re growing our team to meet increasing demand for innovative automated farming technology.

As part of our growing technical team, you'll:
- Carry out site surveys and installation planning for innovative barn equipment, including the Lely Discovery Collector and Juno Flex

- The ability to work independently while also being a supportive team player
- Strong communication and customer service skills
- A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel across the region
- A self-motivated attitude and a willingness to continuously learn and develop
