Harper graduate James McDiarmuid's Engineering Career discussed by The Institute of the Motoring Industry.

The Institute of the Motoring Industry has discussed the career journey of Agricultural Engineering graduate James McDiarmuid in their latest online article.

The piece explains that it was a combination of hands-on experience on the family farm, a passion for rallying, and his degree from Harper Adams, that has given James the skill set he has today and enhanced his ability to ‘think on his feet.

Multi-award-winning rally driver James graduated in 2018 and returned to the family farm, a fourth-generation farm specialising in automation, where he and his father also work on their rally cars.

The ex-Harper Adams Motorsport Team Manager’s proficiency in both agricultural and motor engineering, proves again that the skills learned here at Harper are transferable to any industry.
