You’ll play an important part in the day-to-day operations and work closely with your team to help meet production and animal welfare goals.
You’ll receive full training and support, and we’ll encourage you to take the initiative, develop your skills, and support newer team members along the way. This is a hands-on role ideal for someone with a great work ethic and a passion for farming.
Enjoy being part of a culture that values safety, wellbeing, and continuous improvement.

* Experience in a similar dairy farming role (or a strong interest in developing one)
* Good communication skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team
* A proactive attitude with initiative and commitment to animal welfare and health & safety
* The ability to coach and support junior or new staff where required
* A current NZ restricted or full driver’s licence
THE FARM
Resolution Dairy is operating as a seasonal supply dairy farm. It spans 525 effective hectares and milks 1,250 cows at peak through a 60-bail rotary system.
The farm boasts a close-knit team that excels in performance and enjoys excellent housing and facilities, including an in-shed feeder, ACR’s and Halter.
Located just outside of Reporoa, Resolution Dairy offers the perfect blend of rural lifestyle and community spirit. Enjoy the stunning natural landscapes, friendly locals, and the convenience of nearby amenities.
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.
This opportunity comes with a warm three-bedroom home.
