Farm assistant/general good bugger
Due to late season change in circumstances we have a role open up for Farm Assistant / Herd Manager – 700 Cow Spring Calving
Location: Te Rapa/Hamilton (5 minutes from The Base)
The Opportunity
Are you looking for a role where your hard work is rewarded, your growth is supported, and you’re actually close to the action? We are looking for a motivated individual to join our 700-cow spring calving operation.
We aren't your typical farm; we are part of a progressive three-farm collective. This means you get the "small farm" feel with the "big business" support, technology, and career pathways.
Why Join Us?
* Location, Location, Location: Forget being stuck in the middle of nowhere. We are literally 5 minutes from The Base Shopping Centre. Enjoy the best of both worlds: a rural work environment with city convenience at your doorstep.
* Culture First: We believe farming should be fun. We pride ourselves on a positive team environment where people enjoy coming to work.
* Tech-Forward: We invest in the latest agricultural technology to make our jobs more efficient and our decision-making sharper.
* Career Progression: We don't just offer a job; we offer a career. With three farms in our group, there is genuine room to move up into leadership and management roles as you grow.
* Attention to Detail: We take pride in our stock and our land. If you’re someone who notices the "little things," you’ll fit right in.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Daily milking and livestock management for our 700-cow herd.
* Assisting with the busy and rewarding spring calving period.
* Using on-farm technology to monitor animal health and productivity.
* General farm maintenance and ensuring the property remains in top-notch condition.
* Contributing to a high-performing, collaborative team culture.
Who We’re Looking For
* A positive "can-do" attitude—energy and enthusiasm are a must!
* Experience in dairy farming (level of responsibility adjusted based on your experience).
* A keen eye for detail and a pride in your work.
* Someone who thrives in a team environment but can also work independently.
* Reliability and a commitment to animal welfare.
Remuneration
We offer a competitive salary package that reflects your experience and the value you bring to the team. 3 bedroom house available.
