nAbout The Rolen
nWe are seeking an experienced Agricultural & Horticultural Mobile Plant Operator to join a large-scale, progressive farming enterprise in Western Australia. This role is critical to supporting a mixed farming operation that includes broadacre cropping, livestock production, and emerging horticultural and tree crop initiatives. The successful candidate will operate a variety of mobile plant machinery across multiple properties, contributing to sustainable land management and efficient farm operations.n
nThis position is ideal for a skilled operator who is mechanically minded, safety-focused, and comfortable working across diverse agricultural settings—from cropping paddocks to livestock stations. You will play a key role in maintaining and optimising farm productivity while adhering to regenerative farming principles.n
n
nKey Responsibilities:n
nMachine Operation & Site Work:n
n• Safely transport and operate mobile plant machinery (e.g., tractors, loaders, excavators, spray rigs) across broadacre cropping, livestock, and horticultural sites.n
n• Manoeuvre equipment efficiently in wide-ranging terrain, including paddocks, irrigation zones, and newly developed horticultural blocks.n
n• Assist with land preparation, seeding, fertiliser application,



and crop maintenance in alignment with sustainable farming practices.n
n
nAttachment Handling & Precision Work:n
n• Select, fit, and operate specialised attachments (e.g., slashers, seeder, front-end loaders, post drivers) for tasks such as feed preparation, fencing, and soil conditioning.n
n• Adjust hydraulic, mechanical, and electronic controls to ensure precise operation of implements—critical for tasks like controlled traffic farming (CTF) and pasture renovation.n
n• Support livestock operations by handling hay baling, silage compaction, and feed-out machinery.n
n
nEquipment Monitoring & Maintenance:n
n• Conduct pre-start checks, monitor gauges/telematics, and perform routine servicing (e.g., greasing, fluid top-ups, filter changes) to maintain machinery performance.n
n• Diagnose minor mechanical issues, carry out basic repairs, and report major faults to maintenance teams promptly.n
n• Ensure compliance with safety standards and manufacturer guidelines for all equipment.n
n
nTeam Collaboration & Autonomous Work:n
n• Coordinate with farm supervisors, agronomists, and livestock teams to prioritize tasks such as irrigation, weed control, or infrastructure projects.n
n• Work independently during remote operations (e.g., fence-line repairs,



paddock grading) while maintaining clear communication with managers.n
n• Participate in seasonal projects, including potential horticultural expansion (e.g., orchard establishment, vineyard development).n
n
nEssential Requirements:n
n• Relevant Qualification + minimum 1 year of full-time experience operating mobile plant in farming environments.n
n• Proficiency with tractors, loaders, and attachments; familiarity with precision agriculture tools (e.g., GPS guidance) is advantageous.n
n• Strong adherence to WorkSafe standards and farm-specific safety protocols.n
nReliable, self-motivated, and capable of working long hours during peak seasons (e.g., harvest, seeding).n
n• Willingness to contribute to a collaborative farming operation with a focus on regenerative agriculture and land stewardship.n
n
nDesirable Attributes:n
n• Experience in broadacre cropping (wheat, barley, canola) or livestock support operations (feed logistics, pasture management).n
n• Exposure to horticultural machinery (e.g., vine pruners, harvesters) or interest in diversifying into tree crops.n
n• HR/MR truck licence (for machinery relocation between properties).n
n
nWhy Apply?n
n• Join a forward-thinking enterprise investing in sustainable land use and diversified farming systems.n
n• Varied role spanning cropping, livestock, and emerging horticulture—no two days are the same!n
n
nHow to Apply:n
nSubmit your resume and a brief cover letter outlining your machinery experience and suitability for mixed farming operations.
