Experienced Dairy Farm Assistant

We are looking for 2 experienced dairy workers to join a large, well-run dairy farm in Ikawai, South Canterbury, approximately 15 minutes from Waimate.

This is a great opportunity for someone already confident in the dairy shed who wants solid hours, excellent pay and affordable accommodation.

What's on offer:
 

• $30 per hour
• Accommodation $100 per week including power
• 6 days on / 3 days off
• 1,300-cow dairy farm
• Modern 60-bail rotary
• ACRs, Allflex collars & automatic drafting
• In-shed feeding and modern herd technology
• Great South Canterbury location

About the role:
You'll be involved in milking, bringing cows in, shed and plant hygiene, stock work and general day-to-day dairy farm duties.

The farm also completes its own silage, cropping, regrassing, fencing and track maintenance, so there is plenty happening across the wider operation.

You MUST have:
 

• Previous dairy farming experience
• Previous milking experience
• Confidence working in a large rotary dairy
• Good English communication
• A reliable attitude and willingness to get involved
• Legal right to work in New Zealand

This is not an entry-level dairy position. Please only apply if you have previous milking experience and are confident in the shed.

Ikawai is surrounded by the rolling countryside of South Canterbury, with Waimate nearby and easy access to lakes, mountains and the wider South Island — a great base for anyone wanting to work and explore New Zealand.
