Manuwai StationOtherNūhaka, Hawke's Bay2d ago

An opportunity has become available for the role of Stock Manager at Manuwai Station, located at Nuhaka, approximately halfway between Gisborne and Wairoa and within easy reach of Mahia.

Manuwai is a 1,250 hectare sheep and beef property running approximately 12,500 stock units, including 450 breeding cows, 250 fattening cattle and 3,700 breeding ewes, along with an angus Stud operation

The property is a well-resourced farming business with a strong focus on livestock performance, pasture management and ongoing improvement of the farming operation.

The successful candidate will take responsibility for the day-to-day livestock operations. There is an opportunity to have genuine input into stock policies and management decisions, bringing fresh ideas and challenging existing practices with the aim of improving farm performance.

If the candidate has interest there is an opportunity to be involved in the Angus stud operation and further develop knowledge of stud breeding and performance recording.

The successful candidate will require:

· Proven experience in sheep and beef farming, with sound stockmanship and animal husbandry skills.

· Strong pasture management skills and a focus on lifting livestock performance, particularly sheep production.

· The ability to lead, motivate and work alongside a small team.

· Competence in progressive farming techniques and practices.

· Good communication and organisational skills, with the ability to contribute to planning and budgeting

· A willingness and ability to both do and oversee general farm repairs and maintenance.

· A can-do attitude, an open mind and the desire to take on new challenges.

Manuwai is an established farming business with a long-term view to the future. The owners are committed to intergenerational pastoral farming and supporting the successful candidate and providing opportunities for personal and professional development.

The property is located within a strong rural community, with the beaches and recreational opportunities of Mahia nearby. Nuhaka has a great primary school just a few kilometres away, making this an attractive location for families. Gisborne and Wairoa are both within travelling distance.

A comfortable farm house is provided, and remuneration will be negotiated to reflect the experience and ability of the successful candidate.

This is an opportunity for an experienced stock person looking to take the next step in their career, or an existing Stock Manager wanting the responsibility and challenge of running a substantial sheep and beef operation.
