ManawatuWanganui, New Zealand Drover Ag Full time
The Role

Our client is looking for a dedicated and experienced individual to join their dynamic team in the Riverina district. This opportunity involves working on a large-scale sheep and cropping operation, which is part of a progressive family-run business that encompasses four primary properties.

The business runs a large number of self-replacing merino ewes and a large-scale irrigated and dryland summer and winter cropping operation. It utilises both spray and flood irrigation to produce winter grazing crops and pastures as well as summer crops as water allocations allow.

A forward-moving enterprise, it continually seeks ways to fine-tune operations through consistent investment in land development, infrastructure, and machinery. The livestock enterprise is centred around the purpose of replacing merino ewes with a position joined to terminal rams producing lambs aimed for trade; cattle are also traded periodically to take full advantage of seasonal feed.

Efficiency and, therefore, the use of technology is paramount to how the business operates, utilising all up-to-date modern equipment with excellent infrastructure, providing an enjoyable and safe workplace. Utilising your previous sheep and cropping experience, you will be involved in all facets of the business, including stock work, irrigation and machinery operation, creating great diversity within the role throughout the year. All staff are involved in the general maintenance and repair of machinery and infrastructure, so mechanical inclination and fabricating abilities will assist in your success.

The Offer

The successful candidate will receive competitive remuneration based on their experience. They will also receive a work vehicle and a recently renovated 4-bedroom home set amidst established gardens.

The position is located on a historic property that is conveniently situated 45 km from both Swan Hill and Barham, featuring extensive river frontage that provides unique lifestyle benefits. Barham offers a variety of services, while Swan Hill serves as a major service centre, providing all the essential services for the region.

The Ideal Candidate

Preferably, you should have at least 5 years of experience in a similar role and a passion for the agricultural industry to be a valuable part of our inclusive team and, therefore, have most of the following attributes:

  1. A passion for livestock and cropping production systems
  2. Ability to strategically plan operations to use your time as efficiently as possible
  3. Knowledge and experience with irrigation and a passion for efficiency
  4. Experience operating large cropping machinery
  5. Excellent communication and organisational skills
  6. A sound mechanical knowledge (any trade advantageous)
  7. Willingness to learn, share ideas, and adopt new concepts
  8. Honest, enthusiastic, self-motivated and an eye for detail with a professional level of tidiness
Register your interest

If you feel that you're the right fit for this position, please submit an up-to-date resume along with the contact details of 3 references. Preference will be given to those who supply a cover letter addressing their suitability - that is, tell us what you love about the role and how you think you're the right fit.
