Description:
The Employer:Our clients own two properties and share farms, another two, all situated within a 30-minute radius of each other, ensuring workers will be home every night. Their farming operations focus on sorghum, chickpeas, and wheat while managing a herd of 180 Droughtmaster cattle for breeding purposes. The farm utilises modern equipment such as trucks, trailers, a Rogator spray rig, a Weed-It spray rig, and John Deere tractors and headers. Each year, a contractor harvester is brought in to assist during the harvest season. Currently, the farm employs four staff members — the two owners and one other member — although this number can increase to ten during the busy harvest period.
The Role:
We are seeking a farm hand to join our client's team in a predominantly machinery-focused setting. You will be a part of the daily runnings of this operation and a vital member of the upcoming seeding, spraying, and harvesting events. Generalised farm duties, including cattle work, fencing equipment and infrastructure maintenance, will also be a part of the role. While experience is advantageous, a good attitude is essential, as well as holding the following attributes:
- Understanding and ability to operate a tractor
- A mechanical aptitude
- Strong communication and listening skills
- Current driver’s license
- A willingness to learn and take on responsibilities
- Knowledge of Trimble GPS is advantageous
The Offer:
The successful candidates will enjoy a competitive hourly rate that includes accommodation and a work vehicle.
This role will start out on a casual basis and could eventually lead to a full-time position for the right candidate. Work for a partner will also be available on a casual basis.
Nestled between Emerald and Clermont on the scenic Gregory Highway, Capella offers essential services, including a primary and high school, pool, pubs, limited medical facilities, limited grocery stores, a post office, and a fuel station.
