Feed Mill & Maintenance Manager | QLD

This is a full-time, onsite Feed Mill & Maintenance Manager role, responsible for overseeing feed production, mill operations, and property-wide maintenance.

You’ll take ownership of the feed mill, ensuring feed is produced accurately, efficiently, and on schedule while also managing maintenance across machinery, equipment, and infrastructure.

This is a hands-on leadership role, suited to someone who is both operational and practical. Someone who can manage systems, troubleshoot issues, and step in to get the job done when needed.

We’re not your typical operation.

We run a fast-paced, hands-on livestock business where efficiency, reliability, and doing things properly matter. From feed production through to equipment performance, every part of the operation relies on strong systems and people who take pride in their work.

We operate with a practical, solutions-focused approach, maintaining high standards across feed quality, machinery upkeep, and day-to-day operations.

This role is for someone who values responsibility, takes ownership, and understands the importance of keeping both feed systems and equipment running smoothly.
