Description
Harvest Job Opportunity for Grey Nomads! Based at North Star, NSW. 50km South of Goondiwindi.
Does working for a few weeks (First week of October to Late November) each year on a family farm in the Northern NSW harvest interest you?
We are looking for a single person or couple to develop a working relationship with to assist us with harvest this year, and potentially yearly thereafter if you enjoy your time working with us. You might be able to tie it in with a trip and earn some traveling money along the way!
We are a family farm looking for someone with an HC licence to drive trucks back to our grain handling system at a central property and to the local Graincorp, as well as potentially driving a chaser bin when required. The hauls are short (10km and less generally) and we normally harvest from around 8:00am until 9-10:00pm if the weather allows. Wage can be negotiated upon application but we are happy to pay good money for the right person or provide a flexible package to accommodate pensions etc. A delicious home cooked dinner is provided included during harvest days, and we are always happy to organise to collect your groceries from town/provide you with extra food if required. Shady areas for caravan parking with power and water are available.
Some characteristics that would be desirable include
• HC Truck licence
• Some sort of previous mechanical knowledge or experience would be handy
• Ability to work long days when required
• Must be of clean habits and healthy
• Good communication skills (lots of talking on two-way radios)
• Importantly! Must enjoy a laugh and enjoy working as part of a team
If this sounds of interest at all to you, or you think you might know someone that this would suit please don’t hesitate to get in touch, we would love to develop a working relationship with someone to return yearly if possible. Would be happy to take someone on immediately through to the end of harvest (expected end early - mid Nov) if they possess the correct skillset as there is plenty of work to prepare for the upcoming season. Ideally being competent around operating and maintaining machinery, earthmoving, general labour etc would be desirable. Otherwise would be happy to take you on just for the harvest period.
