  • Job Information Pack
    Job Information Pack Position Summary Business Name: Papanui Estate: Papanui & Ferndale Stations – Turakina Valley Finishing farm - Feilding Breeding and Finishing block - Ohingaiti Property Summary: Papanui & Ferndale Stations are family owned large scale hill country stations located at the top end of the Turakina Valley. The Stations run a traditional sheep breeding operation with trade steers. These two stations are supported by two finishing blocks, one in Fielding and the other in Ohingaiti. Position Title: General Hand Position Overview: This General Farm Hand role will offer a very broad range of tasks ensuring no two days at work are the same. There will be some flexibility with tasks as they will be determined by your skill-set. There is a variety of work from digger and bulldozer operating, through to fencing, welding, carpentry and some stock work. The owners are happy for you to have a couple of working dogs but they are not a necessity in this role. Ideally, our clients are looking for a practical minded person with a can-do attitude who enjoys problem solving. You will need to have a reasonable level of competency with fencing as the role will involve R&M fencing and depending on your skill level some new fencing may be required. You will be based on Papanui Station, but will be required to work on the other properties within this farming business as required. You will be reporting to the Station Owner and once you become familiar with the farming operation the expectation is that you will be able to efficiently manage your own time in order to complete all day-to-day tasks.
