Pāmu Farms of New Zealand needs a solid Dairy Farm Assistant to jump into the mix at Renown Dairy, tucked away in the Waikato District. This full-time spot runs fixed-term right through till May 2026, with hands deep in the daily grind like hooking up cows for milking, watching over calvings, and doling out feed. Hourly pay clocks in around $29 to $31, pegged to what you bring from past gigs and how fast you catch on. You’ll pitch in on everything from slinging effluent to spraying fields and mending fences, all while keeping an eye on the herd’s health and the team’s output. No big farm resume? That’s fine if you’ve got the drive to learn – training’s on the house. Folks who thrive here roll with a crew that puts safety first, chats easy, and pushes for better ways all around. Accommodation’s thrown in, so you can settle quick and focus on the work.
About Pāmu Farms of New Zealand
Pāmu Farms of New Zealand goes way back, kicking off in 1886 as the country’s biggest chunk of pastoral land under one roof – think 360,000 hectares spread over 100-plus spots from rolling hills to rugged stations. As Landcorp Farming Limited in disguise, the outfit farms smart, chasing sustainability like it’s the only game in town, with tricks to cut methane, boost biodiversity, and lock in carbon sinks. They’ve got iconic runs like Wairākei Estate, where innovation meets old-school grit to feed folks without wrecking the joint. Guardianship’s the word – kaitiakitanga – meaning they shield ecosystems, tuck away 10,000 hectares under conservation deals, and tweak practices to hand over healthier dirt to the next bunch. With 630 steady hands, the vibe’s all about backing your mates, from mental health check-ins to skill-building paths that aim to promote half their openings from inside by 2030. It’s farming with a future, rooted in values like being grounded, real, gutsy, and tight-knit.
Job Title
Dairy Farm Assistant – Renown Dairy
Responsibilities
- Lend a hand with once-a-day milking in the 60-bail rotary setup, keeping things smooth and the cows calm.
- Keep tabs during calving season, spotting issues early and lending aid to new moms and their young.
- Mix and dish out feed rations to hit nutrition marks without waste or shortfalls.
- Handle effluent spreading to keep pastures green and waterways clean, following the farm’s green playbook.
- Swing the spray rig for weeds or bugs, timing it right for max punch and no harm to the herd.
- Patch up fences or build fresh ones to hold stock in and strays out, using wire and posts like second nature.
- Pitch into daily rounds, checking feet, spotting sick ones, and noting trends for the boss.
- Jump on tech in the shed – like monitors for milk flow or health alerts – to tweak ops on the fly.
- Team up for big pushes, like drafting herds or prepping for vets, making sure everyone’s synced.
- Clean gear and yards at shift’s end, scrubbing milking lines or scraping stalls to dodge bugs.
- Step up to guide greenhorns on basics, sharing tips from your sleeve to build the squad.
- Log what you see in the farm app, from feed logs to weather hits, for solid records down the line.
- Eye the terrain’s ups and downs on the 640 hectares, adjusting tasks for wet spots or steep climbs.
- Stick to safety drills, from quad bike checks to lockout tags, so no one bites the dust.
- Brainstorm tweaks with the crew, like better feed routes, to shave time and boost yields.
Requirements
Education
- High school diploma or equivalent gets you in the door.
- No fancy degrees needed, but a cert from something like NZQA in dairy husbandry or a fresh-off-the-block ag course sweetens the pot.
Experience
Some time in dairy or stock work helps – say 1-2 years – but raw enthusiasm counts if you’re green and game to grind.
Skills
- Roll solo on routines or mesh with the team when the pace picks up, no fuss.
- Chat clear about herd quirks or task snags, keeping everyone looped without drama.
- Spot a lame cow or off feed from a mile off, acting quick to keep welfare tight.
- Drive a quad or tractor steady over rough ground, license in pocket or close.
- Stay proactive, grabbing tools before they’re hollered for, with a can-do bent.
- Coach a newbie through a milking hitch, patient but firm on the right way.
Knowledge
- Basics of cow care, from mastitis signs to grass growth cycles in Waikato’s weather.
- How effluent systems tick, spreading it even to feed soil bugs without runoff woes.
- Fencing fixes for electric lines or posts that hold against a 1450-head push.
- Tech in modern sheds, like auto-drafters or yield trackers, to cut guesswork.
- Safety musts on farm, from chem handling to animal handling that dodges kicks.
- Sustainability nods, like low-emission feeds or paddock rotations for long-haul health.
Applicant Location
Full on-site at Renown Dairy between Taupō and Rotorua – no desk or distance here. Local’s best, but if you’re shifting, plan for the haul.
