We identify underutilised and undercapitalised agricultural assets and reimagine them through land use change, investment in people, and adoption of climate-smart technologies.

• Promote a safe, productive, and positive team culture.
• Work closely with the Orchard Manager to achieve production, quality, and financial targets.
• Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and adoption of new technologies.
• Represent GO.FARM professionally with contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders.
• Other duties as required

About you:

To be successful in this role, you’ll bring:

• Experience in horticulture, agriculture, or orchard operations.
• Previous experience leading or supervising people.
• A current driver’s licence.
• Chemical accreditation (or willingness to obtain it).
• Strong organisational and problem-solving skills.
• A commitment to safety, quality, and high standards.
• The ability to work collaboratively in a small, dynamic team environment.

Why work for GO.FARM:

• Flexibility through enhanced leave options, salary sacrifice opportunities, and competitive incentives
• Access to growth programs focused on building long-term careers in agriculture
• Wellbeing programs that support your financial, physical, and mental health

In addition, this role is offering
