Do you love being outdoors and working with animals? Have a strong customer focus?

We have opportunities for On Farm Assists to join our passionate team, who provide excellent support to our farmer customers. Our vision is to improve the prosperity and productivity of our farmers, and we want great people like you to join us on the journey!

• Seasonal and casual roles available in a variety of NZ locations
• Great opportunity to join a progressive organisation driving the future of dairy in NZ.

The season generally runs from July/August through until April/May the following year.

About the Role

Our On Farm Assists travel to and from dairy farms throughout the region to provide our farmers with much-needed support on farm.

No two days will be the same – you will assist with a range of different on-farm activities such as herd test support during milking, DNA sampling, herd audits and weighing animals – just to name a few.

If you are someone who thrives in busy environments, cares about animal welfare, enjoys being in the rural environment, loves helping people and craves variety, then this role is for you!

About You

Our ideal candidates will:

• Have a positive ‘can do’ attitude, and learn quickly
• Have excellent customer service and communication skills
• Have excellent time management skills and a strong attention to detail
• Be physically fit and active
• Be self-motivated and professional
• Hold a current, full drivers’ licence (essential)
• Have the right to work in NZ immediately (essential)

The ideal person will be someone who has a hands-on approach, knowledge of, and empathy for the New Zealand dairy industry. An integral part of this role will be interacting with farmers and field-based staff to ensure LIC deliver a quality service.

We are a world leader in pasture based dairy genetics and herd management and we are guided by our primary focus of delivering value for our farmer shareholders.

Here at LIC you’ll join a team who are passionate about what they do, and are experts in their field. Our people share an affinity with farming and work hard to deliver on our promise of ‘extraordinary customer experience always’.
