They are involved at a governance level in the business and provide support where required for the Farm Manager.

The Manager is also responsible for training and supporting the keen Growing Future Farmers student currently on the property.
This majority of the system at Glencoe is based on a managed weight gain plan and monitored as such, the goal is to push weight gain and manage cost of supply and risk.
They know and forward lock the numbers on a year-on-year basis so have an income mechanism they can work with confidence on.
The role will suit a Farm Manager with excellent communication skills who is results-focused and accustomed to documenting their planning and strategising in order to seek opportunities.
Tools and support will be supplied with a particular focus on utilising technology to assist in growing farm productivity and the appointees' capability in this space.
FarmIQ (operational), Farmax (strategic) and Figured (fiscal) are the operating tools currently supporting the business.
MyEnviro will be deployed on the farm for all environmental monitoring and management.
The farm is still operating in 'post cyclone' mode and with much of the infrastructure back in place but general maintenance work is also a part of this role.
WHO Brent and Jackie are looking for a Farm Manager who is progression-focused and has the ability and desire to utilise systems and technology to document and record.
The following are also key to success in this role: Excellent understanding of the fundamentals of farming Strong understanding of feed quality and supply/demand Excellent communication and relationship building skills Keen interest in utilising technology and modern systems with the ability to pick up new systems with ease Computer literacy and ideally experience in using FarmIQ, Farmax software applications Strong forward planning and time management skills A small team of 3-4 well-managed dogs WHY Great support systems in place with owners who live off farm but are willing to pass on knowledge and upskill their employees Farming a mixed land unit system with great balance Opportunity to work within an inclusive farming environment, where there is the chance to further your skills and progress your knowledge The owners foster an excellent work culture and value their people A modern farming operation with a close relationship with their suppliers A well-presented homestead with established grounds, outdoor living and swimming pool Patoka is a renowned farming area Chance to pass your skills onto a GFF student and be part of their personal development Embrace modern technologies and systems within the business TO APPLY OR VIEW THE JOB INFORMATION FORM PLEASE VISIT WWW.RURALDIRECTIONS.CO.NZ/JOBS Applications will be reviewed as they are received Only job seekers who have NZ working rights will be eligible for this role.
