The opportunity

Join the collaborative, high-performing team on Somerville's Dairy and gain hands-on experience across all areas of modern dairy farming. You'll assist with tasks from milking, calving, and feeding stock to effluent management, spraying, and fencing, while learning the skills - including shed and animal health management, mating plans, and moving stock.

This is a hands-on role for someone with a passion for farming, and a desire to grow their career in a collaborative, supportive environment.

You're enthusiastic, hands-on, and ready to contribute to the team's success. You're eager to learn, develop your skills, and make a real impact on the farm. Ideally, you'll also have:

• Good communication skills and the ability to work independently as well as part of a team
• A proactive attitude, with initiative and a commitment to animal welfare and health & safety
• A current NZ restricted or full driver's licence

We're proud to have a supportive and inclusive culture at Pāmu, and we encourage applications from people who share our values – even if you don't tick every box.
