The Role

We are seeking a dedicated and reliable Senior Farm Hand to join the team of a family enterprise located just 5km from Moonie. You will be integral to the smooth operation of their 9,500-acre mixed enterprise, which balances 4,500 acres of dryland cropping and hay production with a herd of 300-350 Angus breeders.

Ideally, you will be a self-starter who uses common sense to problem solve, can follow a provided program, and works autonomously when required to achieve the overall team's goals. You will be hands-on with a wide range of essential daily tasks, from precision spraying and planting to diligent machinery maintenance, operating a high-quality fleet, including John Deere tractors and Hayes Sprayrigs, whilst ensuring that every task is executed with precision and care to maintain the property's high standards.

Our clients proudly operate a neat, tidy, and highly organised agricultural business that takes genuine pride in its equipment and practices. Based in the productive Western Downs region, they offer a professional and supportive environment where your hard work is valued,



and your contribution directly impacts the productivity of their diverse cropping and livestock program.

Known for their meticulous approach to farm management, the family provides a workplace that is not only efficient but also welcoming, making this an ideal opportunity for a motivated professional looking to grow within a respected local farming family.

The Offer

This role provides a competitive remuneration package that reflects the significant responsibility and skill required for this position. To ensure a balanced lifestyle, the role includes a neat and tidy 3-bedroom house located in Moonie, offering convenient access to local schooling, including the primary school (kindy to year 6), while keeping you just over an hour away from the larger regional hubs of Goondiwindi and Dalby. You will be joining an operation that prioritises a well-maintained environment and high-standard equipment, allowing you to focus on what you do best in a stable and organised setting.

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a reliable and hard-working individual who takes immense pride in their craftsmanship, maintaining equipment and property to the highest possible standard.

- Proven experience in broadacre cropping, including spraying and planting operations.
- Strong mechanical aptitude to ensure the upkeep of machinery like John Deere tractors and Volvo trucks.
- A genuine work ethic that is collaborative, dependable, and focused on maintaining a tidy, effective workplace.
- Ability to assist with livestock tasks as needed, showing versatility across mixed farming enterprises.
