New Zealand DairyNZ Full time

**Research Technician and Farm Staff**
- Do you want to make a real impact for Dairy farmers in NZ?
- Work within a talented and collaborative team
- Be part of a passionate, supportive and world-leading industry-good organisation

**About the role**

Our Farms and Research Tech teams are super busy this time of year and we need some permanent and fixed term support to help us deliver great research outcomes for our farmers

No two days are the same around here; you may start your day with the sun in a dairy shed sampling, follow the samples through our laboratory and wrap it up completing data entry at your desk. Or, spend your day helping calve cows, spreading feed, milking, mating or zooming (safely) around on a motorbike to move stock.

DairyNZ is the industry organisation that represents all New Zealand dairy farmers. We support farmers through investing in research, resource development, extension, and advocacy to ensure they lead the world in sustainable dairy farming.

**About you**

You must be a self starter and willing to get stuck in to whatever comes your way. Working alongside farm staff and scientists, our team’s work contributes directly to our world-leading scientific research, so the ability to meet deadlines and be proactive about quality control is vital.

A comfort and confidence working with dairy cattle is a must, along with a good level of physical fitness, the ability to communicate well and a good understanding of how a dairy farm works.

If you’ve experience on farm, a related tertiary qualification or experience in lab research work, that would be fantastic
