Listing Description
Description
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is a hands-on role where you’ll learn by doing, with support from a friendly and experienced farm manager and team.
No two days are the same, and you’ll be involved in the full farming cycle. You’ll help with daily farm work such as milking, calving, feeding stock, and general jobs around the farm, with guidance and support along the way.
This role will suit you if you enjoy practical work, like being part of a team, and have a genuine interest in farming. You don’t need to know everything already, a positive attitude, willingness to learn, and turning up ready to help are what matter most.
You’ll be supported in a safe and caring work environment, with high-quality PPE provided and access to well-maintained, up-to-date equipment. Health and safety are taken seriously, and you’ll work in a team where people look out for each other.
ABOUT US
Pāmu Landcorp Farming Limited is a State-Owned Enterprise with over 110 farms across New Zealand. Our purpose is to lead the delivery of innovative and sustainable agriculture solutions for future generations.
THE FARM
Resolution Dairy is a high-performing dairy farm milking 1300 cows through a modern 60-bail rotary.
Just 25 minutes from Taupō, you’ll have easy access to great schools, shops, sports, and healthcare, while enjoying the space and pace of rural life. The area offers a strong farming community, outdoor recreation on your doorstep, and a lifestyle that’s hard to beat.
ABOUT YOU
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:
- Experience in a similar dairy farming role, or a strong interest in developing one
- 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.
BENEFITS
We offer a competitive salary package, including health and life insurance, enhanced parental leave benefits, and up to 4% KiwiSaver matching. You'll also receive an extra day of leave over Christmas, plus ongoing training and development.
A tidy three-bedroom home is provided.
