Herd Test Technician
Our Herd Test Technicians use LIC vehicles to install Herd Testing equipment in dairy sheds throughout the region. They then return the following day to collect the completed samples and equipment. This is a fast-paced role that requires excellent time management skills and physical strength as handling heavy equipment is a must. We are all committed to supporting our farmers allowing them to make informed decisions. Our team is key to providing a smooth & reliable Herd Test Process.
