Recruitment & selection agency, consultancy, and/or secondment agency?
We appreciate the interest, but we are looking for all our candidates directly. We understand that you, as an intermediary, want to present candidates for our great positions and thus contribute to our ambitions, but this is not how we have set up our recruitment. This means that all unsolicited profiles offered on Lely vacancies will be treated as direct applications.

A sustainable, profitable, and enjoyable future for dairy farmers by combining robotics, engineering, and farming expertise. That’s what we believe in.

It all began in 1948 with a dream of two brothers in Maassluis. Since then, we have become an innovative leader in automated systems for dairy farmers worldwide. With 2,500 specialized professionals, we continuously work on new agricultural revolutions. We do this from our Campus in Maassluis (the building with the highest possible sustainability performance in the Netherlands), as well as from various international locations. Together, we share one goal: making dairy farming appealing for the next generation too.
