The Centre for Dairy Research (CEDAR) is a unique agricultural research facility supporting applied and strategic large-animal research. The Centre operates across a 580-hectare farm with approximately 550 Holstein dairy cows.

If you have excellent organisation skills, enjoy fixing things, improving things and finding practical solutions to unusual engineering problems, this could be a particularly interesting agricultural engineering role.

We are looking for an Agricultural Engineer / Workshop Technician to join our team working across the University Farms at Arborfield and Sonning. Alongside maintaining and repairing the machinery and equipment needed to run a busy working farm, you will support the specialist equipment and infrastructure used in our research.

This is a varied, hands-on role with the opportunity to take ownership of the workshop. You will diagnose faults, carry out servicing and repairs, develop preventative maintenance schedules for machines and slurry systems, source parts and equipment, and help us improve how the workshop operates.

There is also scope for practical engineering and problem-solving. Our research activities sometimes require equipment to be adapted, repaired or developed for a particular purpose, so we are looking for someone who enjoys working out how to make things work, rather than simply following a standard maintenance schedule.

You will have:

An Agricultural Engineering qualification at NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) or higher.
Strong practical knowledge of agricultural machinery, equipment and farming systems.
Good fault-finding and problem-solving skills, with the confidence to find practical solutions to unusual problems.
A proactive and organised approach, with the ability to prioritise your own workload.
The ability to work independently while also being an effective part of a wider farm and research team.
An interest in improving systems and equipment, rather than simply maintaining the status quo.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants variety in an environment where no two weeks are necessarily the same.

Our farms - School of Agriculture, Policy and Development, University of Reading

What we offer

We offer a generous entitlement of 26 days annual leave and additional University closure days on top of bank holiday entitlement and a competitive pension scheme.

Farm accommodation may be available if required.
