Robinson Consulting Pty Ltd - We are hiring an Agricultural/ Agritech Technician to survey, plan and set out these jobs, and to look after the precision technology we utilise in day to day practices.

What you will do

- Work with Agricultural Engineer to map whole farms and assess existing conditions to understand the full scope of a development.
- Work with agronomists and soil scientists to understand each farm’s land: yield data mapping, soil samples, vegetation and biomass mapping, soil types and compaction, water movement and overland flow.
- Check land clearing, vegetation management and water harvesting rules that affect each project.
- Work out the most economical paddocks to level first, and plan the development staging.
- Survey existing land heights, and use LiDAR survey data.
- Assist the agricultural engineer with project designs for: dams, waterways, contours, feedlots, shed pads, ring tanks, irrigation paddocks, watering systems, channels and head ditches. Understand Terra Design software to prepare farm designs.
- Design levelling and drain works in the field and in the cab using precision level guidance.
- Plot the location for the GPS base station, then erect it and set it up.

- Set out jobs at the start and explain scope and locations to the crew.
- Check cut and fill as the job progresses. Confirm the dirt will balance, and adjust design heights when it will not.
- Install, set up, test and repair GPS auto-steer on tractors and GPS auto height control on laser buckets.
- Install water flow monitoring and control equipment on irrigation developments, including head ditch and channel height sensors.
- Set out drainage pipes, channels, concrete causeways and other infrastructure around the project.
- Inspect finished work against the design and confirm key components meet requirements.




- Work with agronomists to advise landholders on nutrient improvement after earthworks, such as manure spreading, deep ripping, cultivating, and phosphorus and potassium application.
- Advise farmers on adjusting cropping layouts and tramlines to suit their machinery and GPS guidance on the new paddock layouts.
- Collect and organise survey and machine data, and produce clear reports and maps.
