Haynes Agricultural Ltd is a long-established, family-owned business (part of the Haynes Group, founded in 1790). We are proud main dealers for New Holland, Case IH, JCB and leading brands including Kawasaki, McConnel, Stihl, Husqvarna and more. With modern depots across the Southeast, including our Alton site, we deliver exceptional support to ground care professionals, local authorities, amenity sectors, farmers and contractors.

We invest heavily in our people and offer long-term career development.

We’re looking for a graduate to join our Tech Hub as a Precision Farming Specialist, working alongside our existing specialist to support customers with the technology that powers modern arable and livestock operations.

This is a hands‑on, field‑based role where no two days look the same. One morning you might be commissioning a guidance system on a new tractor, the afternoon troubleshooting an RTK signal issue at a customer’s yard, and the next day walking a grower through the Field Ops portal.

You’ll be trained from the ground up on the systems we support, and over time you’ll become a trusted point of contact for our customers on everything precision farming.

• Installing and commissioning Raven, Fleet Pro and New Holland / Case IH guidance and steering systems on tractors, sprayers, and other machinery
• Carrying out fault‑finding, servicing, and software updates on installed systems
• Helping maintain and monitor our RTK correction network, including base stations and subscriber accounts
• Supporting customers with the New Holland and Case IH Field Ops portal, including account setup, data transfer, machine connectivity, and troubleshooting
• Providing phone, remote, and on‑farm support on precision farming aspects such as yield mapping, variable rate application, section control, and ISOBUS implements
• Visiting farms to deliver one‑to‑one operator training on precision farming systems
• Helping run in‑house training days on working farms with dedicated machinery
• Keeping accurate service records and feeding back recurring issues to manufacturers
• Staying current with new product releases, firmware updates, and industry developments

• A recent graduate in any discipline — agriculture, engineering, IT, electronics, or a related field
• Genuine interest in agricultural technology and willingness to work hands‑on with machinery
• Strong problem‑solving skills and a methodical approach to troubleshooting
• Confident communicator, comfortable explaining technical concepts to non‑technical customers
• Full UK driving licence (essential)
• Happy to work outdoors in all weather, sometimes at short notice during busy seasons

• Practical experience with farm machinery, workshops, or agricultural contracting
• Familiarity with GPS / GNSS systems, CAN bus, or ISOBUS
• Basic networking knowledge (IP addresses, mobile data, Wi‑Fi troubleshooting)
• Exposure to Raven, Trimble, or New Holland / Case IH precision products

• Experience in parts, retail counter, automotive, or agricultural support roles (preferred)
