Kagome Australia is a leading agribusiness with farms located across regional Victoria and New South Wales.

An exciting prospect has arisen for additional Agricultural Trade Assistants to join the team.

If you’re mechanically minded, like getting your hands dirty and would rather work on big agricultural machinery than spend every day doing the same job in the same workshop, this could be the role for you.

We’re looking for an Agricultural Equipment Trade Assistant to join our Harvest Operations team.

Based from our Echuca workshop, you’ll work alongside our mechanical team maintaining, servicing and repairing our fleet of heavy farm machinery, tractors, vehicles and agricultural equipment. When various harvests get underway, the role heads into the field, supporting breakdowns, operating machinery and helping get the crop off!

What you'll be doing

- Assisting with maintenance, servicing and repairs across agricultural plant and equipment.
- Getting hands-on with heavy diesel, hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
- Supporting mechanics with field breakdowns and repairs.
- Working across both the workshop and farm environment.
- Operating harvest machinery during the season.
- Travelling to our farming locations when operationally required.
- During harvest, stepping up and leading a crew.

Who we're looking for

You don't need to know everything on day one.

We're looking for someone who is practical, mechanically minded and willing to learn. Someone who can look at a problem, grab the tools and work with the team to get things moving again.

You'll suit this role if you:

- Enjoy working with machinery and equipment.
- Have good mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills.
- Aren't afraid of hands-on work.
- Take pride in doing a job properly.




- Can work safely and look out for the people around you.
- Are comfortable working independently when needed.
- Can step up and lead others when the situation calls for it.
- Understand that agriculture doesn't always run Monday to Friday, 9 to 5, particularly during harvest!

Essential:

- - Current unrestricted car driver’s licence.
- Availability for increased hours and work at farm or remote sites during harvest periods.
- Current full working rights in Australia.

Desirable:

- - Relevant practical experience operating, maintaining, repairing or refurbishing vehicles, machinery, plant, equipment or similar mechanical systems.
- Current High-Risk Work Licence – Forklift (LF).
- Exposure to heavy diesel, hydraulic, pneumatic or basic auto-electrical systems.
- Experience supporting or supervising harvest crews or similar operational teams.
- Reliable, self-motivated, practical, safety-focused and willing to learn.

Why this role?

This isn't a job where you'll spend every day standing at the same workbench. One week you could be servicing machinery in the workshop. The next, you could be diagnosing a breakdown in the paddock or operating a harvester with a crop waiting to come off. It's a chance to build your mechanical skills, work with large-scale agricultural equipment and become part of the crew responsible for keeping harvest moving

$30 to $35 p.h. + OT + Super + Profit Share Bonus Scheme

- Rate Negotiable within this range based on experience.

Applicants must have current full working rights in Australia to be considered for this role.
