Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: ID copy and any driver's licence you hold, a farmer's reference letter with phone number plus tractor or spray course certificates.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

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

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Tips to get shortlisted

Mention GPS or auto-steer if you have used it. Modern grain farms struggle to find operators who know it.
A reference from a previous farmer is gold. Ask for it before you leave any farm job.
