Job description

  • Broadacre and Irrigated Cotton.
  • Impressive John Deere machinery fleet.
  • Further capital-ex programs planned.
The Role
A large family-operated mixed enterprise in Central West NSW is seeking an Assistant Manager to assist in their Broadacre and Irrigated Cotton programs, which are spread across four properties plus additional lease blocks, culminating in 10,000 Ha of dryland and, depending on the season, 400 – 800 ha of Irrigation.

Working directly with the Cropping Manager and Owners, you will assist with all aspects of the cropping cycle and assist with leading the team of 3-5 full-time staff as well as working with contractors and suppliers, requiring strong communication and organisational skills. You will be mechanically minded and assist with the maintenance and repair of the machinery and infrastructure as required.

Generally, the team includes a full-time spray operator and mechanic; however, it is preferred for the successful to possess these skills to assist this team member and have a basic understanding of agronomy. A lot of pride has been taken in purchasing new John Deere machinery, with further capital expenditure being utilised for the lasering of the broadacre blocks and development of pontoon irrigation in replace of the current syphon system.

Employer:
You will join a family-owned and run enterprise with a close-knit team, who all share the common goal of ongoing agricultural sustainability and the philosophy that investment in people, infrastructure & genetics all increases profitability. 

Preferring to promote from within, all staff are actively encouraged to upskill across multiple facets of the business so they are comfortable and confident to step up when the opportunity arises.

The Offer
Along with a quality salary, you will be comfortably accommodated in a three-bedroom family cottage with school bus access within a 3-minute drive. The attractive package will also include a work vehicle and electricity.

Conveniently located within a thirty-minute drive of Warren, you will have easy access to all basic requirements, including schools, health care and amenities. The other centres of Gilgandra and Dubbo are within a 90-minute drive.

The Ideal Candidate
The candidate we are searching for will be confident in all aspects of the cropping cycle and the operation of the machinery associated with these tasks, along with the following attributes:

  • Dryland and irrigation experience
  • Mechanical aptitude and fabrication skills
  • Strong communication, organisational and interpersonal skills
  • Chemical certificate
  • Spray rig experience
  • MC Licence (advantageous)
