As our new Dairy Assistant Production Manager, you’ll work alongside the Farm Manager and 2IC who back your development, with training, mentorship, and the opportunity to make an impact every day. You’ll be hands-on across a wide range of operations, including :

• Supporting feed planning and pasture management to hit production targets

The Farm

Located just ten minutes from Taupo, you get the best of both worlds, with town close by and lifestyle opportunities at your doorstep, including water sports, mountain biking, hunting and fishing. There are also plenty of local schooling options in the area.

Benefits

We offer a competitive salary package, including health and life insurance, enhanced parental leave benefits, and up to 4% KiwiSaver matching. You’ll also receive an extra day of leave over Christmas, plus ongoing training and development. A three-bedroom home is provided.

You’re someone who takes pride in doing things well — whether it's getting the best out of your pasture, keeping cows healthy, or stepping up to support your team. You might have experience in a similar Assistant Production Manager role, or you are an experienced Dairy Farm Assistant looking to take the next step in your career.
