Tractor Driver

A Tractor Driver operates tractors and machinery for farming, horticulture or land management. You might prepare soil, plant crops, spread fertiliser or transport produce, while maintaining equipment and working safely in all conditions.

Tractor Drivers are vital to farming productivity. You’ll need mechanical skills, coordination and independence, plus physical fitness and attention to detail. You’ll follow safety rules, adapt to different terrains and work with others to meet seasonal deadlines.
