We're are on the lookout for a 2IC for our Wrights Bush farm.    Click here to find out more about the farm.

We take the job of being good famers very seriously.  Sure, the outcome is producing plenty of quality milk solids but we need to make sure the cows are well looked after.  That means growing some good grass for them to feed on, milking and taking care of their general welfare.  They're valuable team members and we look after them.  Speaking of team members, you’ll be working with a few of the two legged kind too.  So you’ll need to be a team player and get along with folk.

Then there’s the environment.  We do things right here.  So each farm has a plan and that’s the starting point.  From there we make more improvements and focus on sustainable farming practices so we can be good custodians of the land.  

We’ve some machinery and general farm maintenance that you’ll need to look after.  Increasingly, technology is playing a part in farming and you’ll be exposed to that too.   

We’ve got a track record of supporting personal growth and development.  And we have a goal of seeing our team members progress through to farm ownership.  So it goes without saying that we offer some great training opportunities, both on and off the farm.  

We will pay you well, we will grow and develop you, keep you safe and you will have the chance to join our Academy and fast track your growth to becoming a manager. We are here for the long haul and with 22 farms around Southland you can use us to grow your career in the dairy industry. We are looking for those individuals who want to farm and become the best versions of themselves!

We will need you to be residing in New Zealand now and have the right to work in New Zealand.

You’ll be the type that likes to roll your sleeves up, get stuck in, challenge yourself and think differently.  The type that’s smart, inquisitive and engaged.  You’ll be an active person, energetic and approach work with a sense of fun and a real ‘can-do’ attitude.  

Above all else, you’ll be passionate.  We’re going to make some changes to farming and you’ll be part of it.
