Established in 1975, we’re a family-owned wholesaler and retailer of market leading combines, foragers, hay equipment, seeders, spreaders and sprayers for global brands such as CLAAS and AMAZONE. We have 33 dealers across New Zealand and Australia with support offices in Christchurch, Melbourne and Perth.

What’s the job?

Designed to give you meaningful, hands-on experience from day one, our programme offers the unique opportunity to work across both the wholesale and retail sides of our business, giving you a well-rounded understanding of how the agricultural machinery industry operates.

Throughout the programme, you'll rotate through wholesale teams, including Product, Service and Parts, working alongside experienced professionals on meaningful projects.
