Harvest & Cotton Machinery Operators – Northern NSW (2 Positions)

Rowena / Walgett Region | Immediate Start | Mixed Cropping Season

We have two positions available with a large-scale family farming operation in northern NSW, working across mixed cropping properties in the Rowena / Walgett region. This is a good opportunity for a couple or two mates travelling together, although strong individual applicants will also be considered.

The work will cover a mix of the upcoming wheat and cereal harvest followed by cotton planting, irrigation and general cropping operations. The core of the roles is machinery operation, with some irrigation and general farm work required as the season progresses.

Typical work will include:
Wheat and cereal harvest operations
Chaser bin and general harvest machinery work
Tractor and cropping machinery operation
Cotton planting and ground preparation
Irrigation work during the cotton season
General machinery servicing and maintenance
Farm and paddock preparation
General labouring where required between machinery operations

The farm operates contemporary large-scale machinery,



so we are particularly interested in candidates with positive experience operating tractors, harvest equipment and GPS-guided machinery. Experience with John Deere or similar contemporary machinery will be highly regarded.

Ideal candidates will have:
Previous broadacre cropping or harvest experience
Solid tractor and machinery operating skills
Experience with GPS / guidance systems
Good mechanical awareness and ability to assist with servicing
A willingness to help with irrigation and general farm duties when required
Ability to work long hours during peak harvest and planting periods

Cotton or irrigation experience would be useful but is not essential if you have a strong machinery background and are willing to learn. This should provide a valuable run of work across different parts of the cropping season rather than a short harvest-only position.
