Work for us

Build gear farmers can count on

For forty years, farmers and dealers have trusted Rata because of the people behind it. We put people first, we own our work, and we find a way when it counts. If you want a job where the care you put in makes a real difference to someone's operation, we'd like to meet you.

Why Rata

Why people stay

It's not the job title. It's the people we work for and the people we work with.

Care you can see

We find great satisfaction in seeing a farmer's operation runs better because of something we did. That's a part of the job that sticks with you.

Relationships that last

More than 100 of our dealers have stood with us for nine years or more. That kind of loyalty is earned, and you'll be part of keeping it.
