Melbourne, Victoria, Australia beBeeWater Full time $90,000 - $120,000
Water Management Specialist Opportunity

Industry Challenge: Innovative Water Infrastructure Management

Furrow is developing cutting-edge hardware and software products to optimize water management in-farm, encompassing stock water tank-fill automation, trough monitoring, automated run-off and irrigation network management through to pump station management, maintenance, and fault prediction, and pump efficiency reporting.

We are seeking producers in Victoria and Southern NSW to participate in on-farm deployments and demonstrations of remote water infrastructure management and automation technology.

Demonstrations will explore various modes of user interaction with the system, focusing on automation over simple monitoring, reducing site visits, decreasing equipment downtime, and user alerting only upon exception or fault.

The selected properties will need to have relatively modern infrastructure, active turnover as far as water movement is concerned, cellular coverage at points of interest, and producers/managers willing to make use of the technology and potentially contribute to its development.

  • Irrigation deployments may include flow monitoring and autonomous channel fill, automation of run-off water (tail-water) collection, piped and overhead irrigation systems, pump efficiency, and maintenance planning tools.
  • Stock water deployments may include tank level monitoring and fill automation, trough sensing (level, flow, obstruction, usage monitoring), and supply automation.

This technology has the potential to be used across other industries where unmanned and remote water management infrastructure exists.

Key Objectives:
  • Explore the use of various modes of user interaction with the system
  • Focus on automation over simple monitoring
  • Reduce site visits and decrease equipment downtime
  • User alerting only upon exception or fault
Requirements:
  • Relatively modern infrastructure
  • Active turnover as far as water movement is concerned
  • Cellular coverage at points of interest
  • Producers/managers willing to make use of the technology and contribute to its development
Benefits:
  • Potential reduction in water waste
  • Improved crop yields
  • Increased efficiency in farm operations
Timeline:

Deployments to occur in the second half of 2025, expected to run for a minimum of 6 months.
