THE OPPORTUNITY
Join the high-performing team at Bounty 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 that come with working on a larger-scale operation - including shed and animal health management, mating plans, and moving stock with Halter technology.
Halter helps the team work smarter, supports animal wellbeing, and frees up time to focus on the aspects of farming that matter most. You’ll receive full training and support, with opportunities to take initiative, develop your skills, and mentor newer team members.
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:
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
The ability to support, coach, and mentor junior or new staff when needed
A current NZ restricted or full driver’s licence
We’re proud to have a supportive and inclusive culture at Pāmu. If this role sounds like a good fit for you, but you don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply.
