Darwalla is seeking applications for candidates to work as part of small highly motivated teams in our Poultry Farms, located at Bony Mountain (Victoria Hill) and Sandy Camp, both around 25 mins from Warwick, on the Southern Darling Downs.
The successful candidates will be required to carry out a wide range of physical tasks including handling chickens, floor walking in sheds, egg grading & packing and cleaning. Full training, uniforms and personal protective equipment is provided, so no experience is necessary, however a willingness to learn and work hard is essential.
Generally, the hours of work are between 6am to 3pm, 4-5 days/week across 7 days/week. The number of hours vary, however you can expect to work between 25-37 hours/week. Overtime is occasionally available. Our farms are located in rural locations, so a drivers licence and access to reliable transport is a necessity.
The poultry industry has very strict bio-security and animal welfare standards, so all employees are restricted from keeping pet birds, poultry and pigs and residing with others who work at other poultry or pig farming work sites. Therefore, if you have poultry, birds or pigs kept at your house, you cannot work for Darwalla. Our farms are all shower-on & shower-off facilities.
Skills & Experience
Successful candidates must have the following attributes:
- meet bio-security requirements
- physically fit & hard working
- reliable & self-motivated
- have a mature & responsible attitude
- good communicator & a team player
- have a tolerance to working in a poultry environment, which can be dusty, noisy and smelly
- good understanding of English, both written & oral
- previous experience in farming is an advantage
Darwalla has a diverse workforce and welcomes applicants who are as passionate as we are about producing quality chickens. As a fourth-generation family business, Darwalla started producing chickens almost 90 years ago in Mt Cotton, with farms now located in the Redlands, on the Darling Downs and in the Lockyer Valley.
Safety is a priority of ours and we look after our people. You will be provided with a uniform, training & relevant safety equipment.
