Position Description
Our Co-operative
Fonterra's strength is in the collective. We are a Co-operative created and owned by Aotearoa New Zealand dairy farmers. Our rich history is built on farming families working together to share the natural goodness of our dairy with the world.
Collaboration, innovation, and passion were the cornerstones of our creation and something we continue to value today through our commitment to care for the land, our animals, and every drop of milk. Our milk creates goodness through nutritious food with safe, quality ingredients that are loved here in New Zealand and around the world.
About Farm Source
At Farm Source, our team is driven by the same co-operative spirit that our farmers and their communities share. We make farming easier so farmers can continue to concentrate on what they do best – producing high-quality New Zealand milk in the most sustainable way.
This means growing and supporting the right people – people with plenty of roll-your-sleeves-up energy to rise to the challenge. Whether you're on the farm getting your gumboots dirty or connecting over a coffee at our local stores, you'll be getting the mahi done as part of a trusted team – backed by good people, the right products, innovative solutions, and industry-leading expertise.
So why not join us? Our regional structure and openness to flexible working means that there really is something for everyone. No matter your age or stage, our inclusive culture has created a place where everyone can thrive.
About the opportunity
By joining our nationwide Farm Source store team, you're joining a group of agricultural experts and setting yourself up for an outstanding career.
As the newest addition to our local Invercargill store, you'll provide sound farming product advice to our loyal customers. Getting stuck into everything from merchandising to customer service, you'll never be bored in this fast-paced role!
With the opportunity to hone your agricultural expertise and open the door to multiple career pathways throughout the wider business, there couldn't be a better place to start. This is an exciting opportunity for those looking to re-enter the agriculture industry with flexible, part-time hours.
Please note: This role is 10 hours a week. Days can be flexible for the right candidate; however, you will be required to work alternative Saturdays. There will be opportunities to pick up additional shifts.
About you
We're looking for down-to-earth team players who'll enjoy a role that keeps them busy and offers the chance for some great farming banter with our friendly customers.
Ideally, you'll have some prior customer service/sales experience and a connection to the agricultural industry. That said, we're equally open to those looking to make a move straight off the farm or who are current customer experts keen to learn all about the ag/dairy industry.
Other key things we're on the lookout for include:
Rural experience would be beneficial, but not essential.
A good level of physical fitness – you'll have no trouble getting your daily steps in!
