  • Record keeping and logistical planning;
  • Mentoring and supporting junior staff;
  • Working closely alongside the General Manager to share leadership responsibilities;
  • Involvement in business discussions and long‑term planning.

About You:

  • Experienced in broadacre cropping systems;
  • Strong machinery and spraying background;
  • Adaptable, collaborative, and confident communicator;
  • Comfortable mentoring and supporting junior staff;
  • Interested in long‑term development and progression toward higher responsibility.

What’s on Offer:

  • Hourly pay structure, guide $38-40 per hour (excl. super) depending on experience;
  • Salary in the vicinity of $80-100K depending on the hours you want to work;
  • On‑farm, upgraded three‑bedroom family‑suitable home;
  • Work vehicle and running costs provided;
  • Strong partner employment opportunities available in nearby regional centres;
  • Long‑term incentives where appropriate.
