Things to Consider
Most of our work is carried out on-site (farms). Livestock may be present, so biosecurity must be adhered to as requested by customers, and respect for the surroundings is essential. Some outside work can lead to challenging working conditions. We work to get the job done, not necessarily to the clock, sometimes working to tight deadlines.
Future Prospects
Possible full-time position for the right candidate. We are keen to encourage the ‘next generation’ into the agricultural industry.
Closing Date
The closing date for this job offer is on 15/04/2025.
