As one of Australia’s top egg producers, we’re proud to supply fresh, delicious eggs and egg products to homes and businesses across the country.

About the Role
Looking for a change of scenery? It’s time to trade the hustle and bustle of city life for the wide-open spaces of West Wyalong! Pace Farm is on the hunt for a hands-on Farm Manager & Assistant Farm Manager, who aren’t afraid to get their boots dirty and roll up their sleeves. You’ll oversee a dedicated team, ensuring the health and well-being of our feathered friends while managing a variety of farm activities.
We’re not just looking for someone with prior farm management experience – we’re also open to candidates who are currently in a leading hand role or feel they have the right skills to step up into this type of position. If you’ve got the hands-on attitude, leadership potential, and drive to grow with us, we’d love to hear from you!
This role isn’t just about managing – it’s about getting stuck in. From caring for the birds to maintaining our sheds, you’ll be on the ground making things happen while leading a small team to success. If you’re ready to step up and take charge, we want you on board!
What You’ll Do
• Be hands-on in checking the health and well-being of the birds, ensuring they have plenty of feed and water.
• Lead the cleaning and maintenance of sheds, and ensure all vaccinations are up to date.
• Work with your team, including a 2IC, to tackle the day-to-day tasks and keep everything running smoothly.
• Take care of manure management and get hands-on with equipment like pressure washers.
• Keep an eye on the packing facility as needed and ensure everything stays safe and sound.
About You
Do you love rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck into farm work? This isn’t a desk job – we’re looking for someone who thrives on hands-on action and can lead a team with energy and passion. Whether you’ve been a Farm Manager before, are currently in a leading hand role, or feel you have the necessary skills to step up into a management position, we want someone who can bring a practical, “let’s get this done” attitude to the farm. Previous experience in poultry is great but not essential – what matters most is your leadership skills, problem-solving ability, and mechanical know-how.
This could be the perfect opportunity if you’re after a tree change, and we’re even happy to help your partner find work in the area. Ready to make an impact? We’re ready to meet you!
What You’ll Need
• Experience in poultry or animal welfare is desirable.
• A forklift license, or a willingness to get one.
• Strong leadership skills and the ability to motivate your team.
• General maintenance skills are a plus!
• Excellent time management and organisational abilities.
• Great communication skills to keep everything running smoothly.
Why Pace Farm?
• Attractive salary package + free accommodation in town.
• A supportive, inclusive, and friendly team culture.
• Relocation assistance if needed.
• Weekly supply of free eggs (because who doesn’t love eggs?).
