Ditch the seasonal grind – secure a stable, full-time role

We're looking for an experienced Tractor Operator to join our team in a permanent, year-round position. Unlike typical harvest roles, this isn't just a few months of work – it's a long-term opportunity with consistent hours, ongoing support, and the chance to grow your skills in a dynamic agricultural setting.

About the role

We're looking for an experienced Tractor Operator to join the team at Mackays Group in Warrami, QLD. Transport available to and from Tully.

Full-time, year-round work – not just a seasonal gig

You'll be working across our sugarcane farming operations, using a range of machinery to help with everything from cultivation to harvest. If you're confident behind the wheel and enjoy hands-on farm work, this could be a great fit.

What you'll be doing

  1. Tractor Driving
  2. Helping with crop care – including planting, cultivating, and keeping crops in top shape
  3. General farm jobs like land prep, fertilising, and pest/weed control
  4. Keeping farm buildings and fences in good condition
  5. Doing basic maintenance and servicing on tractors and other farm equipment
  6. Keeping clear records – including spray diaries and safety logs

What we're looking for

  1. Relevant experience in operating agricultural machinery, preferably in a sugarcane farming environment
  2. Confident working on your own
  3. Knowledge of sugarcane farming practices and crop cultivation techniques
  4. Willingness to work outdoors in various weather conditions

What we offer

At Mackays, we are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive work environment. You'll enjoy competitive pay, job security and opportunities for career development.

Our standard work week runs Monday to Thursday, with optional overtime on Fridays if you're keen to earn extra.

About us

Mackays is one of Australia's leading Banana producers, with a proud history in agriculture. We also produce other crops including Sugarcane at our Warrami farm which is 600ha.
