Do you love being outdoors and working with animals? Have a strong customer focus?

LIC have been providing innovative farming solutions for over 100 years, and today, we're proudly NZ's leading Agri-tech and dairy herd improvement cooperative. We are a world leader in pasture based dairy genetics and herd management and we are guided by our primary focus of delivering value for our farmer shareholders.

Join our passionate ON Farm Assist Team in a permanent role based in South Waikato and provide excellent support to our farmer customers. Our vision is to improve the prosperity and productivity of our farmers, and we want great people like you to join us on the journey!

Great opportunity to join a progressive organisation driving the future of dairy in NZ.

About the Role:

Our On Farm Assists travel to and from dairy farms throughout the region to provide our farmers with much-needed support on farm.  This region covers Tokoroa, Rotorua, Mangakino, Te poi and Tirau. 

No two days will be the same – you will assist with a range of different on-farm activities such as herd test support during milking, DNA sampling, herd audits and weighing animals – just to name a few.

If you are someone who thrives in busy environments, cares about animal welfare, enjoys being in the rural surroundings, loves helping people and craves variety, then this role is for you!

About You:

Our ideal candidates will:

• Have a positive ‘can do’ attitude, and learn quickly
• Have excellent customer service and communication skills
• Have excellent time management skills and a strong attention to detail
• Be physically fit and active
• Be self-motivated and professional
• Hold a current, full drivers’ licence (essential)
• Based in South Waikato

The ideal person will be someone who has a hands-on approach, knowledge of, and empathy for the New Zealand dairy industry. An integral part of this role will be interacting with farmers and field-based staff to ensure LIC deliver a quality service.

Here at LIC you’ll join a team who are passionate about what they do and are experts in their field. Our people share an affinity with farming and work hard to deliver on our promise of ‘extraordinary customer experience always’.
