Here at Fonterra, we are committed to growing our people. We value you and your career progression and are excited that you are taking this next step in your career journey with us. We are proud to offer a wide variety of roles across the Co-op, ensuring that no matter what business unit or stage of life you're in, there's a good chance we've got something to suit you.

**About us | Whakapā mai**
Fonterra's Pahiatua Farms are located 5 minutes either side of the Pahiatua township and approximately 35 minutes from Palmerston North. Tui Farm is 170ha and O'Brien Farm is 144ha. There is the potential to be based at either farm, depending on team fit with some cross over between the two farms teams. We also have a small 20ha support block where we rear our calves and winter our heifers. Both sheds are herringbones, Tui a 30 aside and O'Briens a 40 aside with ACR's.

**About the opportunity | Te whai waahi**
- Milking 240 cows through either a 40 Aside Herringbone shed with cup removers\ or a 30 Aside Herringbone Shed.
- Feeding out
- Break fencing
- Recording and documentation of activities carried out on farm
- Weed control
- Farm maintenance
- Tractor work
- Other farm tasks as required
Both farms take the wastewater from the Pahiatua Fonterra Site, which means they are irrigated all year round.
You will be an all-rounder, lending your hand to ensure the farms operate in a safe and successful manner. You’ll be involved in all aspects of dairy and dry stock farm operations including milking, stock work, calf rearing, effluent management, farm maintenance and machinery operation.
Your understanding of all things farming, positive attitude and willingness to learn will take you a long way. The great work environment supported by on the job mentoring as well as outside training and career progression makes this an opportunity that can’t be missed.
A house is available as a part of the role.

**About you | Moe koe**
You will have some on-farm experience where you are comfortable safely undertaking farming activities. You will be a self-starter and be able to work unsupervised and as part of a team with a passion to learn and grow. What sets you apart from the rest will be your confidence to get the task done, no matter how small, or large and you won’t be shy to ask questions to further your knowledge and personal development.
You will also ideally bring to this role:

- Excellent attention to detail and a pride in workmanship
- A genuine passion for farming and a drive to learn more
- Take pride in the presentation of the farms, as well as have a good sense of humour
- Some dairy farming education would also be well regarded in this role.-Are you excited about this opportunity but may only meet some requirements?
Applications will close 10th December 2024
You, me, us together. Tᾱtou tᾱtou.
