Harvesting the future.

Imagine working on a piece of high-tech equipment like a CLAAS LEXION combine, one of the largest output combine harvesters in the world. Equipped with a powerful 790hp engine, advanced GPS steering, field scanning technology, and sophisticated integrated systems in hydraulics, electrics and computer hardware. As a Land-based Service Engineering apprentice at CLAAS, you’ll gain hands-on experience with some of the most advanced agricultural machinery available.

You could be the technician working on these machines and a whole range of similar equipment. You will be servicing it, maintaining it and repairing it if anything should go wrong. You'll be using a range of tools from computer diagnostic equipment to good old spanners, but the most important tool is your competence and expertise. Once trained you’ll be fully familiar with every element of the complex technology that makes CLAAS equipment so advanced.
