Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: a farmer's reference letter with phone number, tractor or spray course certificates plus ID copy and any driver's licence you hold.

Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Middelburg (MP).

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

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.
