Growing Careers
Let’s get straight to it. We want you to own a slice of your own farm. Success for us is seeing you and your family set up for life, owning a slice of Fortuna, with a share of dirt to call your own. We want you to be a proud farmer, like we all are. A farmer who does the right things by the land and the cows on it. A farmer who can help us lead the world in sustainable farming, creating a happy, healthy and thriving dairy industry for everyone.
We know that sounds like we’re dreaming big. We are, and we hope you are too. Because when you start your career at Fortuna, we’re chasing great and that includes chasing great, big dreams.
Here’s a little of what you can expect when you put on the Fortuna gumboots…
Learning Culture
You might have heard the term ‘growth mindset’. If not, you will when you start with Fortuna. We’ve developed a culture where we take the time to support and learn from each other. We inspire each other to do well, learn from our mistakes and do what’s needed to become the professors in our paddocks. Sure, there'll be some stumbling blocks along the way. That’s part of growing. But we learn and overcome. That’s the growth mindset.
For the Family & for Financial Freedom
It’s all geared to helping you get the best out of farm life. That’s the best for your family and for your finances. Growing up on a farm is a special way of life and we’re very much a family company, passionate about the rural way of life. We want you to experience the best bits of it. We also want you to be financially secure. So we’ll pay you well and offer opportunities that’ll really pay off.
The Fortuna Academy
When we say we learn from each other, we really mean it. The Fortuna Academy is where we pool all of our years of collective experience and insight and use it to help grow you. Through it, you’ll meet the Fortuna Legends and subject matter experts from across the industry. You'll learn techniques specific to the Fortuna Farming systems that can enhance your herd's productivity and milk quality and become part of a group of like-minded dairy farmers, exchange ideas, and grow together as a supportive community.
Here’s what your career could look like…

Your team and your paddocks. It’s time to show the world what you’ve learned, as you look after the animals and lead the charge to being a good custodian of the land. You’ll know all about how we make sure the future of farming is bright and will be playing a big role in that.
Supervisor
A bigger team and multiple paddocks. Now’s the time to become one of the Fortuna Leaders and inspire others to farm the Fortuna way, to the best of their ability. Also - get this far and you could be approved by the Board to become an equity partner /shareholder. That’s a good place to be, trust us.
