The Role

Our clients seek a full time, experienced, hardworking individual to join their team for the upcoming harvest season, commencing in early November and continuing through Christmas, or further into January, depending on the season.

Operating a John Deere 9670STS header, you will work primarily in canola and barley crops alongside a chaser bin outfit.

As part of our client's team, you will collaborate closely with full-time staff and work under the guidance of the on-farm manager.



You will be supported and directed by the manager to ensure seamless integration into the team and complete familiarity with farm operations. We encourage you to apply if you are passionate about agriculture, have a can-do mindset, have header-operating experience, and thrive in a collaborative environment.

The Offer

The successful applicant will receive an attractive hourly rate, dependent upon experience.
