Great location, a nice sized farm, milking 650 cows and just 20 minutes' drive from Taupo

The Opportunity

As a Dairy Farm Assistant, you will be bringing the cows in for milking, doing the milking, shifting both the cows and the young stock plus other duties as required. You will work in a roster system with approx 104 days off per year.

The house is close enough to the farm to nip home during your breakfast and lunch breaks to have a good meal before you get back to work.

You will have a positive attitude and good foundational dairy farm experience or willingness to learn looking to develop and grow your dairy career.

  1. Must be experienced at riding a manual motorcycle (two-wheeler)
  2. Positive, proactive attitude
  3. Familiarity with farming and farm equipment
  4. Commitment to Health & Safety protocols as well as the highest Animal Welfare standards
  5. Pride in your work and your team

Benefits
