The Role:

We are seeking a driven leader with previous experience in a comparable leadership role or an individual looking to take a step up in their career of choice.

  • A flexible approach to work and reliability during peak production periods on farm.
  • A positive outlook, willing attitude, and the ability to commit to the position for the long term.
  • Ideally, a truck licence will be viewed as favourable to move trucks between properties when required; however, a current driver's licence at a minimum is essential.

  • Family accommodation is provided for the successful candidate on the property, located a short 15 minutes south of the Goondiwindi border.
  • School bus run to Goondiwindi – primary and secondary opportunities are available.
  • Goondiwindi – the rural hub of the border region has ample services including rural supplies, medical, educational, sporting, and community services to offer.
