Farm Office Coordinator

Why working at Warakirri Cropping is for you?

You want to work for an Australian owned, safety first, family oriented, innovative large scale cropping organisation. With over 155,000 hectares under management across Australia you will work for a significant grain producer.

What lifestyle will you find on the farm?

We are seeking additional support in the form of a Casual or permanent, Part-Time (three days a week) Farm Office Coordinator.

The Bullarto Downs aggregation is located in the southern Mallee, Victoria, between Hopetoun and Woomelang. It is approximately 70km north of Warracknabeal. The farm covers about 10,032 arable hectares and cultivates wheat, barley, canola, and lentils. Your new manager is knowledgeable, kind, and understands the land they farm. They aim to take the farm to the next level.

While our Coordination and Administration Team is spread across Australia, they work closely together. This is a hybrid role, based partly in the farm office and partly from home, three days per week. There's flexibility to spread your hours across the week if that suits you better.

We can have someone start immediately or latest in mid-January.
