This post is in Sandton (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

  • Wash equipment after spraying and store chemicals safely
  • Haul cane, grain or fruit bins from field to shed

You'll need

  • At least 2 years driving tractors on a farm

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): a farmer's reference letter with phone number plus tractor or spray course certificates.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.
