Charlotte and Jack explain careers in farming and agriculture engineering, covering everything from food security to the digital revolution changing farm machinery. They walk through training pathways and job opportunities in land-based industries.
Have you ever played farming Simulator? Why not see how it works in the real world? My name is Charlotte and I'm Jack and we would like to give you a quick insight into the land based industries, specifically land based engineering. Land based engineering can be anything from farming, agriculture and turf. Stick with us while we share why we are passionate about this industry and how the digital revolution is shaping the future of farming.
Never has this industry been so important to us as a recent situation has shown us. Food security as well. Feeding the world's growing population is something I'm proud to be a part of. So now let's go ahead and take a look at the many roles making this industry. Join Charlotte and myself as we take you on a tour of one of our dealerships that support our customers in their farming operations. Hello and welcome to one of our dealerships. Follow me as we go inside and take a look at all the opportunities available. There is a shop selling merchandise, tools and parts key to keeping our customers running and producing within the field. The aftermarket is essential to keeping our customers productive and happy. How important is customer service to you?
There are lots of job opportunities from sales, marketing, finance, HR and accounts all working as a team. So lots of opportunities for anyone. There are also farm site specialists that manage customers. Precision Farming Solutions. Today's farmers are reliant on satellite data to record everything that happens in each field. As well as being able to automatically drive these machines.
There is also a service department that cares for the maintenance and repairs on these land based machines. Let's go and take a look. These machines need to be maintained and sometimes need to be repaired. All of our dealerships have the ability to perform a remote diagnostic connection with our machines in the field. This gives the service department here the ability to remotely diagnose an issue, optimise machine settings and update machine software right here remotely from the dealership. Just like an F1 car.
These highly trained technicians carry out the necessary repair and regular servicing to ensure that these machines continue running at their best. From tractors combines through to lawn care. If variety is key to you, then just look at the difference.
It takes years to become one of these highly trained technicians. But an apprenticeship is a great place to start. Just as I did on the job training while getting that all important in the field experience whilst gaining the qualifications you need to further your career.
All these people working as a team to support, advise and be there to keep our farmers running. All part of the critical food chain to ensure our future food security. Land based engineering spans wider than just agriculture. Take professional turf for example. All of the mention roles, but this time helping to maintain community areas, golf courses and playing fixtures that require the right machine for the job to give the perfect playing surface. Hey, no matter the role that you have seen, this industry continues to embrace the latest technologies to develop machines and solutions to deliver more. Training never stops. From apprenticeships to hundreds of adult training courses to develop you throughout your career.
My career started out with an apprenticeship and now I'm here as part of the training team to help to develop others. You too could be one of those people. And don't worry, we are not always sat in a classroom. Let's go ahead into the workshop and take a look. It's here where we learn how the cutting edge technology within these machines are helping to take farming through its digital revolution. If you are interested in becoming part of a wider team, there is also many opportunities within machining manufacturing companies. Take our for example. With over 65,000 employees represented in over 140 countries around the world and 60 factories spread across every continent, the opportunities are endless and the choice is yours.
So if you are interested in anything you have seen and are looking for not only a career, but a vocation built on a meaningful and interesting industry, then give the land based industry a chance.
No matter your background, no matter how high your aspirations are, there is a position available for you today.
