Description du poste

Ready to step up—or looking for a role where your experience will genuinely shape the operation? Join a growing dryland cropping and contracting enterprise at Alleena, near West Wyalong. Whether this is your first move into supervision or your next leadership challenge, you'll be trusted, supported and given real scope to make an impact.

As the business continues to expand, the family is seeking a permanent Farm Operations Supervisor / Manager to help lead its dryland cropping and contracting operation. The enterprise produces wheat, barley, canola and faba beans, while also providing contract machinery services and freight cartage across the local area.

This is more than a machinery role. It's an opportunity to take ownership, strengthen your leadership skills and become a valued voice in the future of a successful farming business.

If you're newer to supervision, you'll have a clear and supported pathway to grow. If you already have leadership experience, you'll have the freedom to contribute practical ideas, improve systems and help guide a growing operation. Either way, you'll have a genuine seat at the table.

Reporting directly to the owner, you'll be trusted with meaningful responsibility from day one. You'll help plan, prioritise and deliver seasonal cropping and contracting work, with growing involvement in daily decisions and the coordination of junior team members, seasonal workers and contractors.

You’ll enjoy this role if you like variety, take pride in a well run operation and want your contribution to be recognised. You’ll bring practical cropping knowledge, solid machinery operation and maintenance skills, and the initiative to keep work moving safely and efficiently. Experienced supervisors and early career farm operations managers are both encouraged to apply.

In return you’ll get a generous flat hourly rate matched to your experience, comfortable air conditioned accommodation, a work utility and practical family friendly benefits, including primary and high school bus access. Well controlled domestic pets are welcome, and West Wyalong is close by for shopping, health care, sport, recreation and community connection.

What's on offer

• Flexible start date from now through to early 2027
• Generous negotiable flat hourly rate that reflects your skills and experience
• Comfortable air conditioned accommodation with school bus access for primary and high school students
• Work utility provided for role related use
• Clear opportunity to develop your leadership skills and progress your agricultural career
• Join a supportive family business where your contribution will be noticed and valued

What you'll be doing

• Plan and organise day to day tasks so seasonal operations run smoothly and efficiently
• Operate modern broadacre machinery across wheat, barley, canola, and faba bean production
• Work with local contracting clients and carry out contract spreading, Kelly chaining, and windrowing
• Complete mechanical, machinery, and general farm maintenance to keep the operation running well
• Help coordinate and supervise junior team members, seasonal workers, and contractors as your role develops
• Maintain accurate records and contribute to high operational standards across the business

About you

• Confidence operating large scale cropping machinery and pride in producing quality work
• Sound cropping knowledge and a practical understanding of broadacre systems, whether you're stepping into supervision or already leading people and operations
• Strong mechanical aptitude, including diagnosing issues and completing machinery maintenance and repairs
• An HC truck licence, or the ability to obtain one; an open MC licence will be highly regarded
• Experience with grain storage, on farm logistics and ex farm grain movements
• Confidence assisting with stock control and ordering fuel, parts and consumables
• A current manual driver's licence
• ChemCert accreditation, or willingness to maintain the relevant industry accreditations
• The ability to work independently, set priorities and make sound decisions in a seasonal farming environment
• Initiative, integrity, clear communication and the confidence to lead when required
• A strong commitment to safety, accurate records and professional operating standards
• An organised, practical approach and a positive attitude toward team success
