About the Role
Darwalla is seeking applications for people who care about their job, to work alongside our experienced teams in our poultry farms, located between Warwick and Toowoomba, on the beautiful Southern Darling Downs. The successful candidates will be required to carry out a wide range of physical tasks including walking in sheds, egg collecting, egg grading and packing, and cleaning sheds. Full training is provided, so no experience is necessary; however, a willingness to learn and work hard is essential.
Generally, we work across 7 days a week. The number of hours per week may vary. Our farms are located in rural locations between Warwick and Toowoomba, plus out at Killarney and down at Laidley, so a driver's license and access to reliable transport is necessary.
The poultry industry has very strict bio-security and animal welfare standards, so all employees are restricted from keeping pet birds, poultry, and pigs, and residing with others who work at other poultry or pig farming work sites. Therefore, if you have poultry, birds, or pigs kept at your house, you cannot work for Darwalla. Our farms have shower-on and shower-off facilities to protect our birds from disease. Our showers are hot, and we supply towels, uniforms, and all safety equipment.
Skills & Experience
- Meet bio-security requirements
- Physically fit and hard working
- Reliable and self-motivated
- Team player
- Have a mature and responsible attitude
- Good communicator
- Able to follow instructions
