We are a dairy farm located in Nowra on the South Coast of NSW, 2 hours south of Sydney. We grow a large amount of forages locally including corn and triticale for silage and ryegrass pastures. We are looking for skilled farm machinery operators to join the farm.
Commencing anytime for the right applicant but would hope otherwise before the end of September. Depending on experience and the time of year, jobs could include:
- Feeding of cows using telehandlers/mixer wagon
- Unloading of hay and grain trucks
- General loader and clean up/maintenance/fencing work around the farm
- All activities associated with the preparation, planting, upkeep and harvest of winter and summer crops including cereal crops, corn crops and grass crops.
The majority of machinery work is done in house. Even though this is a machinery operator position, manual labor and getting your hands dirty is part of the job. If you are afraid of getting your hands dirty and hard work, don’t bother applying!
These positions can be for full-time local/permanent staff but also encourage skilled overseas ag machinery operators to apply that can commit to at least 6-8 months work. A truck license is not essential for this position but could be an advantage. Pay is dependent on experience. Shared accommodation is also available on the farm for seasonal staff. Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.
