We are looking for an experienced, hands-on dairy professional and people leader to take
responsibility for our day-to-day milking operation and lead our team of casual milking staff.
Our dairy is located at Dayboro in the Moreton Bay region, reasonably close to Brisbane
and surrounding communities, and milks up to 220 cows per day.
This is not simply a milking role. We are looking for someone who will own the milking
process, lead the team and help us create a genuinely great workplace culture.
The role
You will be responsible for:
Leading and coordinating our casual milking team
Working hands-on as part of the milking roster
Ensuring milking runs efficiently and to a high standard
Training, supporting and managing staff
Creating a positive, respectful and accountable team culture
Monitoring herd health, cow wellbeing and milk quality
Identifying and managing health issues associated with the milking process
Understanding and overseeing milking plant and equipment
Calf management and welfare
Maintaining high standards of dairy hygiene, animal welfare and farm safety
About you
We are looking for someone with:
Strong commercial dairy and milking experience




Excellent cattle handling and animal welfare knowledge
Experience managing or supervising farm staff
Strong people leadership and communication skills
Valuable knowledge of herd health and calf management
A sound understanding of milking systems and equipment
The confidence to take ownership, make decisions and solve problems
A reliable, positive and team-focused attitude
Most importantly, we want someone who enjoys leading people. Someone who sets high standards, communicates well, works alongside the team and helps create an environment where people enjoy coming to work. This is a full-time shift-work position, including early mornings, afternoons and rostered weekends.
Due to the nature of dairy farming and the shift requirements, ideally you will live within approximately 20 minutes of the farm or be willing to relocate locally. If you're an experienced dairy professional who loves working with cows but is also ready to lead the people and take ownership of the milking operation, we'd love to hear from you.
