Farm Hand

The Company

Excel Farms is a fast-growing agriculture company, a joint venture between an Australian farming family and a Canadian investment partner, with a portfolio of roughly 80,000ha across WA, Victoria and NSW focused on broadacre winter cropping. We’re all about people — great farming doesn’t happen on its own, and we pride ourselves on a hard-working team, a positive culture and a fun, family-like atmosphere across our operations.

The Role

Kybah is a 6,000ha dryland cropping aggregation near Trundle in the Central West of NSW, growing wheat, barley, canola and pulses. We’re looking for an experienced machinery operator/farm hand to join the team, working closely with the Farm Manager across the full cropping cycle — sowing, spraying, spreading, harvest and grain transport — plus equipment upkeep and general farm maintenance.

You’ll operate and help maintain new John Deere equipment including tractors, sprayers and seeders. During peak periods you’ll also help the Farm Manager coordinate casual staff, and you’ll be expected to keep on top of machinery maintenance schedules, stock control, and WHS procedures on-site.

Skills and Experience

• Solid experience operating tractors and broadacre cropping machinery
• Current driver’s licence (Heavy Combination licence highly regarded)
• Strong communication skills, comfortable working solo or as part of a team
• Satisfactory National Police Records check
• Permanent working rights in Australia (essential) 

What Excel Farms Can Offer You

• Competitive experience-based remuneration
• Housing on farm & work ute
• Mobile phone allowance
• Ongoing training and development
• A long-term career pathway for the right person
• Be part of a growing, progressive agricultural business, alongside a supportive and experienced management team

The appointment of successful applicants will be subject to satisfactory employment screening and background checks.
