Rockhampton Regional, Australia Rural Funds Management Limited Full time

We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Irrigation Manager to lead the irrigation operations across the expansive Fitzroy macadamia developments in Gogango, Queensland, located just 65km southwest of Rockhampton. In this pivotal role, you will take charge of ensuring efficient and effective irrigation delivery across our macadamia orchards in the Fitzroy River region. Your expertise will be integral in shaping irrigation system design, overseeing installations, and optimising water management to support the growth and success of our premium macadamia orchards.

Key Responsibilities:

Reporting to the Area Manager - Fitzroy Macadamia Operations, you will:

  • Provide expertise in irrigation system design and installation.
    • Monitor water account balances and requirements across various users.
      • Program, manage, and control automation systems.
        • Guide orchard managers on irrigation requirements.
          • Serve as a role model by demonstrating precise and safe work behaviours while reinforcing company policies and procedures.
            • Coordinate the delivery of water through suppliers and infrastructure to meet user needs.
              • Maintain strong and effective working relationships.
                • Identify training needs and effectively manage team performance.

To excel in this role, you will bring:

  • Experience in the operation and management of pressurised irrigation systems.
    • Proficiency in irrigation automation.
      • Experience working with tree crops.
        • A valid C-class driver's license.
          • Project management experience.
            • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
              • Exceptional attention to detail.
                • Excellent organizational and time management skills.

While experience in a corporate agricultural environment and formal safety training are highly regarded, they are not essential.

The successful candidate will enjoy a competitive base salary of up to $120,000 per annum (based on experience and qualifications), along with:

  • Company-provided motor vehicle, on-farm housing, laptop, and mobile phone.
    • Salary continuance and life insurance (eligibility applies).
      • Annual discretionary bonus (eligibility applies).
        • Access to Employee Assistance Program.
