The Role
A capable and self-motivated Farm Hand to join a progressive broadacre cropping and livestock operation near Coonamble, NSW on a 7,200-hectare property situated just 35km from Coonamble.

The aggregation features 5,900 hectares dedicated to high-yielding dryland winter cropping—incorporating canola, wheat, barley, faba beans, and chickpeas using controlled traffic farming (CTF) and no-till practices—complemented by 1,300 hectares of grazing country running approximately 600 Aussie White ewes as well as trade cattle. The farm is equipped with a modern fleet of predominantly CNH machinery alongside autonomous SwarmBot technology for precision spraying, providing an innovative and well-maintained working setting.

Reporting directly to the owners, you will play an active, hands-on role with a primary focus on broadacre cropping operations—including operating modern agricultural machinery and autonomous SwarmBot technology (training provided) for key duties such as spraying, sowing, and harvesting across CTF and no-till systems.

You will also participate in general farm duties across the property; whilst cropping-focused, you will be required to assist with sheep & cattle as needed, especially during peak times. In addition to daily field tasks, the position requires an individual who takes genuine pride in performing routine machinery servicing and maintenance, alongside demonstrating the confidence and reliability needed to work autonomously across the property when required.

The Offer
The successful candidate will be offered an attractive salary package commensurate with experience and skill set. The offer includes comfortable,



family-friendly accommodation in a well-maintained 3-bedroom house featuring established lawns and gardens, a single garage, and a small workshop, with access to a primary and secondary school bus route right at the front gate. To support daily operations and farm-related travel, a dedicated work utility vehicle is also provided as part of the overall employment package.

The Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate will be an enthusiastic, ambitious, and communicative agricultural worker who takes pride in high standards of work and fits seamlessly into a close-knit, family-oriented operational team.

- Practical experience operating broadacre agricultural machinery, with specific experience in chemical spraying operations highly preferred
- Mechanical aptitude with the ability to perform routine servicing, maintenance, and equipment checks
- Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage daily tasks efficiently without constant supervision
- Strong communication skills and a positive, collaborative mindset suited to working alongside farm owners and seasonal staff
- Willingness and flexibility to assist with general farm duties and property maintenance tasks as required
