We are looking to appoint an assistant manager, who in conjunction with the rest of the team will strive towards increasing landscape capacity through regenerative farming practices, as well as selecting adapted genetics through inhouse breeding programs and management of data sets. The farming operation currently encompasses 3500Ha of farmland, 280 breeding cows and 1700 breeding ewes over two farming operations. We are also involved in two other grazing operations off farm, with a continuing eye on business expansion.

The person in this role will display outstanding leadership skills, be a keen problem solver, focussed on efficiency and take a hands-on approach to management.  The ability to be self-driven and demonstrate initiative is a must.  Engaging with a range of stakeholders including farmers, external agencies, and customers is required for this role, so you will have excellent communication skills, be a good listener and have a friendly demeanour.
