Attachment Handling & Precision Work: • Select, fit, and operate specialized attachments (e.g., slashers, seeder, front-end loaders, post drivers) for tasks such as feed preparation, fencing, and soil conditioning. • Adjust hydraulic, mechanical, and electronic controls to ensure precise operation of implements—critical for tasks like controlled traffic farming (CTF) and pasture renovation. • Support livestock operations by handling hay baling, silage compaction, and feed-out machinery. Equipment Monitoring & Maintenance: • Conduct pre-start checks, monitor gauges/telematics, and perform routine servicing (e.g., greasing, fluid top-ups, filter changes) to maintain machinery performance. • Diagnose minor mechanical issues, carry out basic repairs, and report major faults to maintenance teams promptly. • Ensure compliance with safety standards and manufacturer guidelines for all equipment. Team Collaboration & Autonomous Work: • Coordinate with farm supervisors, agronomists, and livestock teams to priorities tasks such as irrigation, weed control, or infrastructure projects. • Work independently during remote operations (e.g., fence-line repairs, paddock grading) while maintaining clear communication with managers. • Participate in seasonal projects, including potential horticultural expansion (e.g., orchard establishment, vineyard development). Essential Qualifications & Experience • Relevant Qualification + minimum 3 years of full-time experience operating mobile plant in farming environments. • Proficiency with tractors, loaders, and attachments; familiarity with precision agriculture tools (e.g., GPS guidance) is advantageous. • Strong adherence to WorkSafe standards and farm-specific safety protocols. • Reliable, self-motivated, and capable of working long hours during peak seasons (e.g., harvest, seeding). • Willingness to contribute to a collaborative farming operation with a focus on regenerative agriculture and land stewardship. Desirable Attributes: • Experience in broadacre cropping (wheat, barley, canola) or livestock support operations (feed logistics, pasture management). • Exposure to horticultural machinery (e.g., vine pruners, harvesters) or interest in diversifying into tree crops. • HR/MR truck license (for machinery relocation between properties).
