Detail information about job Animal Care Extension Specialist. Terms and conditions vacancy

  • Passionate, proud people working towards a common goal
  • Part of a great team working closely with DairyNZ's farming system specialists
  • A desire to drive improvement and extend knowledge in our industry

The New Zealand dairy industry is renowned the world over. It's the result of passionate, proud people working towards a common goal - the success of the industry, and with it, the success of our country. That's the scope of dairy - it's vital, it's diverse and it's huge .... and so are the career opportunities at the heart of the primary sector powerhouse.

On farm, skills in stockmanship and animal care are a core part of the success of both the individual farm, and ultimately the industry. As the Animal Care Extension Specialist for the Lower North Island region, you’ll be part of a great team working closely with DairyNZ's farming system specialists, focussing on maintaining and enhancing animal care on farm, while helping farmers improve profitability and sustainability.

You’ll need a passion for the dairy industry, solid stockmanship skills, animal husbandry and welfare knowledge and an ability for knowledge sharing and influencing, to enable you to work with farmers and rural professionals ensuring everyone on farm (cows and people) are a happy and effective team.  You are likely to be working in the industry already with either veterinary dairy experience or be an individual with extensive dairy experience at a senior level.  Dairy farm systems knowledge is essential, as is the desire to drive improvement and extend knowledge in our industry.

If you've got what it takes to apply your knowledge of animal care and management to help farmers and rural professionals, and have the skills to build effective partnerships with key stakeholders, you could be the champion we're after. This is a challenging role, are you up to it?

This role can be based in Palmerston North, Te Awamutu, Taranaki or Hamilton.  

You must be eligible to work in NZ to apply for this role.
