Farm Assistant Superstar

Due to a previous employee not returning after their maternity leave, we are looking for a farm assistant to join our team on our 700 cow farm, 10 minutes from Ashburton located in the heart of mid canterbury.

Our ideal person is someone with a can-do attitude, who is looking to progress through the dairy industry. We want someone who will buy in and help us create a strong team, who is self-motivated and is driven to work to a high standard. We are in the process of becoming a lead with pride Synlait farm.

Your role will be working alongside us and as well as part of our team of 4 staff. Genal farm duties are required- milking, feeding of cows, irrigation and farm maintenance. We are a self-contained level 2 farming system, so there is winter grazing and young stock to tend to as well throughout the year. We pride ourselves of having a good work/ life balance for all- just not milking cows!

Experience preferred (training on our system will be given) with at least 2 years working on a New Zealand farming system.
