Farm Manager

Your Employer
Our client is one of Australia's largest almond growers, with a network of orchards and state-of-the-art processing facility. This 1,100 hectare property is a consistently top-performing site, averaging industry leading yields over the past eight years. It's well invested and well run. 

Our client seeks a seasoned professional grower and leader to write the next chapter of this high performing orchard.

The Role

• Manage day-to-day operations across the orchard — horticulture, irrigation/fertigation, spraying and harvest
• Lead a strong team including an assistant manager, irrigation manager, maintenance manager and 10 orchard operations staff.
• Manage safety performance and build a strong safety culture, including with contract harvest labour
• Own the farm's operating budget and report on performance

About You

• 5+ years managing an irrigated perennial tree crop as a Farm Manager, 2IC or Irrigation Manager
• Strong, resilient leadership - this is a big site and it needs someone who leads from the front
• Solid budgeting and financial reporting skills
• Almond experience is not essential - we welcome backgrounds across horticulture, including viticulture, provided the leadership and irrigation fundamentals are there

The Benefits:

• An attractive remuneration package, negotiable depending on experience
• Housing assistance to help with relocation to the Renmark region
• Fully maintained company vehicle
• The chance to lead a genuinely high-performing, well-invested site within a leading Australian agribusiness
