Nutbush Farms is a family owned and operated Macadamia business. We have 250 hectares of macadamia trees planted in the Farnsfield district (between Bundaberg and Childers). Our trees are between 3 and 5 years old. At Nutbush Farms we are focussed on becoming a top performing orchard in the macadamia industry. We value doing each task safely, on-time and to a high standard. We currently have a position available to join our small and close-knit team, reporting directly to the owner.
The ideal person will have experience in the agriculture industry. You don't need to know anything specific about macadamias or horticulture. Our goal is to find someone with the right attitude and experience. It's important that you have a desire to do things properly and are willing to learn.
This role will predominantly focus on operating and maintaining our modern irrigation system but there will be other tasks from time to time like slashing, spraying, general maintenance of equipment and the orchard, planting trees, record-keeping and other farm-related tasks as required. This is a farming enterprise and as the saying goes "We need to make hay while the sun shines". So, there will be shift work and weekend work required as part of this role.
You must have a minimum of the following:
* a current manual Australian driver's licence
* a reliable vehicle
* be an Australian Citizen or Resident (no short-term visas or working visas)
If this sounds like you and you are interested in working with us at Nutbush Farms, we look forward to hearing from you. Please submit a cover letter with your application.
