CAREERS AT LISTER WILDER

Ashford is a lively depot, representing Kubota for Groundcare, Construction and Agricultural machinery.  Each area has its specialist personnel and we are now looking for a working foreman to lead the Agricultural service team.  This means that as well as being a great engineer, you’ll need to be an excellent communicator as you liaise with customers, a strong leader as you look to steadily develop your team and, whilst admin support is available, your paperwork will also need to be up to the mark!

It’s a wonderful opportunity to grow with a franchise and company that’s going from strength to strength, therefore if you’d like to know more details of the role or to come in for a socially distanced chat then we look forward to hearing from you….and please note that all enquiries will be treated in the strictest of confidence.

Full-Time Permanent position – Service Vehicle, Phone and Laptop provided

We are currently looking for Agricultural Service Engineer…you will be joining a very knowledgeable and friendly team and, as you would expect, we have a very well-structured training programme that works in conjunction with the manufacturer. The work is technically challenging, and you will be working on a wide range of mechanical agricultural equipment and drawing heavily on your knowledge of diesel engines, transmissions, hydraulics and electrics. An existing knowledge of farm machinery isn’t essential, but you will need to have a positive appreciation for the countryside and the unique demands of farming if you are to really fall in love with the job!

Most of the work will be carried out on farm, therefore, a fully expensed service vehicle will be provided, and this can also be used to travel to and from work.

We are currently looking for a top-flight Agricultural Service Engineer to join our busy workshop in Bristol. You will be joining very knowledgeable and friendly teams and, as you would expect, we have a very well-structured training programme that works in conjunction with the manufacturer. The work is technically challenging, and you will be working on some of the most advanced machinery in the market drawing heavily on your knowledge of diesel engines, transmissions, hydraulics and electrics.

Cirencester is a very busy branch and it’s bursting with talent and experience. We are now looking for an additional Parts Person to join the team. The Parts Department plays a pivotal role within a dealership, sourcing items for our workshop team and customers alike. The role would suit a bright, enthusiastic individual, who has excellent communication skills, works well with IT systems and possess a very good eye for detail. A good mechanical mind that allows you to correctly identify the parts in question, would be a huge advantage, as would, a sound working knowledge of Groundcare and Agricultural machinery and this would allow progression within the department.

As a Groundcare Service Apprentice, you will be joining an experienced team of Field Service Engineers who will pass their knowledge onto the next generation. The work is extremely varied and will see you working on Kubota’s range of compact tractors and ride on mowers – the kind that are used by Golf Courses, Councils, Private Estates and Sports Grounds. Some of this takes place within our workshops but much is out on site where you begin with the basics of servicing before moving onto repairs, diagnostics and fault finding.

The apprenticeship is run in conjunction with Kubota, with block release at college and then you will spend time with us to develop what you have learnt during your time away.

At college, you will cover mechanical principles, engines, hydraulic systems, transmissions and electrics – in fact everything you need to build a sound engineering foundation. On the assumption that you pass the apprenticeship, you will be well on the way to getting a service van of your own, and the beginnings of what should be the start of a very long and rewarding career.

Skills required:

Grade 4 or above in GCSE Maths and English is an absolute minimum but the successful candidate will also need to demonstrate logical thought processes and problem-solving ability (diagnostics). Hands on coordination and organisational skills (working tidily and efficiently).
