• Supporting operators with advice and training on in-field operation
• Ensuring the highest customer satisfaction and output for machines sold and supported by RVT
• Maintaining and monitoring a supply of crucial parts and accessories

The role will be largely autonomous, so the successful applicant will need to have good time management skills and an ability to plan and manage their own workload effectively.

This new position will be an addition to and supported by our existing and highly successful Precision Farming Department who also provide our existing CropCare support on several levels across the RVT Group, and as such the role will be based centrally at our Shrewsbury depot within the Precision Farming team, the primary role will be as a Sprayer Product Support Specialist with support being provided to the Precision Farming team as capacity allows.

• Someone currently in a similar existing role
• A mechanically minded and experienced top end sprayer operator (must be conversant with electrics and computer-controlled systems)
• A technician looking to specialise and develop their current role

A knowledge of current crop care, pesticide application practice & the latest agricultural technology would be a distinct advantage as would any NSTS and PA1/2 qualifications along with a proven ability with mechanics, electrics and electronics.

The most important qualities needed to succeed in this role will be:

• A positive can-do attitude
• Enthusiasm
• Interest
• Ability to self-manage & work to the highest level within a small & dedicated team
• A strong customer service ethic
• Ability to respond in a timely, effective and positive way to customer and internal communications whether by phone or electronically
