The Role

We are searching for a confident, competent, and highly motivated Cropping Overseer to take key operational responsibility across our cropping enterprise. Working alongside the business owners and team, you will drive operational efficiency, timeliness, and high standards across all stages of crop production. Key duties include land preparation, sowing, spraying, harvesting, grain handling, machinery operation, routine maintenance, and the utilisation of precision farming technology.

To be successful in this role, you will possess strong time management skills and a practical approach to problem-solving. A high degree of self-motivation, critical thinking under operational pressure, and keen attention to detail are essential personality traits.

While the primary focus of this position is centred on cropping excellence, active involvement and hands-on engagement with our sheep enterprise are integral to the routine. A cooperative attitude and willingness to assist across all general farm duties, from key cropping windows to active livestock handling, drafting, and management during peak seasonal periods, will ensure seamless integration into our farming team.

Concurrently, the farm runs a high-performing self-replacing flock of approximately 8,000 composite ewes. Spring Creek Partnership prides itself on maintaining high-quality standards, utilising modern technology, and offering a supportive, flexible, and rewarding workplace culture.

Included in the remuneration package is a comfortable, freshly painted 4-bedroom family cottage with brand-new carpet throughout. The residence is conveniently positioned on a local school bus route for effortless family logistics. A dedicated farm work vehicle is also provided for qualified and operational use.

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a proactive and capable agricultural professional with strong technical cropping skills, a practical mindset, and a genuine passion for broadacre farming.

- Strong competency in broadacre cropping operations (sowing, spraying, harvest, and grain handling) paired with up-to-date technical skills in modern machinery and precision farming technology.
- Excellent critical thinking, time management, and problem-solving abilities to make effective decisions and adapt quickly to challenges in the field.
