Job description

Introduction

At Bindaree Food Group's Myola Feedlot, the Feeding Team is the engine room of everything we do. Every ration mixed, every bunk called and every truck loaded feeds directly into the quality our customers rely on.

We're looking for an experienced feedlot feeder ready to step up into a leadership role. Someone who's called bunks, run a feed truck, and knows what a well-fed pen looks like, and who's ready to lead a hands-on crew of feed truck drivers.

Description

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading and supervising the feed team - organising daily feeding operations and rostering people where they're needed most
• Getting hands-on with machinery and feed truck operation, mixing, delivering and distributing feed to hit our LLN (Least Likely Number) / bunk-reading targets
• Reading bunks accurately and adjusting feed calls on schedule, keeping hay racks in top condition
• Running the milling process end-to-end - grain receival, sampling and testing, mill and boiler start-up, operation and shut-down
• Training and coaching the team, and helping them build the competencies they need to thrive
• Spotting hazards and breakdowns early, reporting them fast, and keeping maintenance and safety on track
• Setting the standard - modelling the quality and safety behaviours you expect from the crew
• Keeping accurate daily records, including FY300 updates across the roster, weekends included

About You

• Hands-on experience feeding in a commercial feedlot environment is essential - you know ration mixing, bunk calling and feed truck operation from the ground up
• Genuine leadership instincts - you communicate clearly up and down the chain and people trust what you say
• Strong time management and the ability to juggle competing priorities without dropping the ball
• A proactive, resourceful approach - you fix what you can and flag what you can't
• An eye for detail and a genuine commitment to safety and quality outcomes
• Solid record-keeping habits and the confidence to report clearly and accurately
• A team-first mindset, ready to work at heights and in silos when the job requires it

All the benefits

• Above-award pay with additional incentives
• 10 days on / 4 days off roster with permanent full-time security
• On or near-site accommodation plus meals on rostered days
• Learning and development opportunities
