This is the quintessential ‘come and leave your legacy’ role – what you design and deliver will have a significant impact on both the success of our people and our business.
  
Reporting to the General Manager of People & Culture and working very closely with the Learning and Organisational Development Specialist and business subject matter experts, you will lead our technical training offering to ensure our people are ready for the future of ag machinery maintenance and service.
