    Leading edge Farm Manager wanted

Reference no: 8HR1252
Posted: 18 Dec 2019
Salary: Negotiable
Location: North Otago, New Zealand
Duration: Permanent
Start Date: 1 June 2020
Apply

  • 480 cows                  
  • Herd Homes 
  • Innovative feeding system

 

If you think ‘good enough is good enough’, then this is not the role for you.  But if you are excited by a challenge and would relish an opportunity that will see you push the boundaries of performance – of yourself, your team, the farm and the cows – then read on.

 

Located in North Otago, this farm has been developed with an eye firmly on the future. Operating as a system 4 – 5, the farm is leading the way with its hybrid system, and makes full use of the extensive infrastructure and technology to maximize production while taking good care of the animals and the environment.

 

It goes without saying that your pasture management and animal husbandry skills are top notch, but we are looking for someone who brings so much more.  Critical to the success of this role is someone who can demonstrate:

  • Experience with high input feeding
  • High attention to detail and strong with numbers
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
  • Successful leadership experienced
  • Performance-focus and drive

 

On offer is an outstanding opportunity to work in a professional, innovative and results-focused farming business.  You will be working for top farmers with a clear vision and values for their business and the intellectual, emotional and financial competency to make it all work. 

If you are passionate about your career and the industry and have that right mixture of respect for the past and innovation for the future then we want to hear from you.

This is for a 1 June 2020 start, but for the right person the role may be available sooner.  The successful applicant will need to be legally able to work in New Zealand and pass a pre-employment drug test.
