How to apply

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Keep copies of these ready to send: a farmer's reference letter with phone number, ID copy and any driver's licence you hold plus tractor or spray course certificates.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Montague Gardens; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

List the machines you can drive and the implements you have used. Farmers want to know if you can plant, spray or harvest on day one.
Mention GPS or auto-steer if you have used it. Modern grain farms struggle to find operators who know it.
