Job Description

About Pace

At Pace Farm, we’re proud of our strong family values that have guided us since the 1970s. From humble beginnings, we've grown into one of Australia’s largest egg producers, delivering the freshest, tastiest eggs nationwide. As the leading supplier of farm-fresh eggs and egg products, our mission is to continue setting the standard in the industry by valuing our people and equipping them with the skills to deliver top-quality products and service. With egg-citing growth and expansion on the horizon, now’s a great time to join us and be part of our continued success!

About the Role

Looking for a change of scenery? It’s time to trade the hustle and bustle of city life for the wide-open spaces near Newcastle! Pace Farm is on the hunt for a hands-on Assistant Farm Manager who isn’t afraid to get their boots dirty and roll up their sleeves. You’ll help lead a dedicated team while ensuring the health and well-being of our feathered friends.

This role isn’t just about managing – it’s about getting stuck in. From caring for the birds to maintaining our sheds, you’ll be on the ground making things happen while leading a small team to success. If you’re ready to step up and take charge, we want to hear from you!

What You’ll Do

• Be hands-on in checking the health and well-being of the birds, ensuring they have plenty of feed and water.
• Lead the cleaning and maintenance of sheds, and ensure all vaccinations are up to date.
• Work with your team, to tackle the day-to-day tasks and keep everything running smoothly.
• Take care of manure management and get hands-on with equipment like pressure washers.
• Keep an eye on the packing facility as needed and ensure everything stays safe and sound.

About You

Do you love rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck into farm work? This isn’t a desk job – we’re looking for someone who thrives on hands-on action and can lead a team with energy and passion. Whether you’ve been an Assistant Farm Manager before or are looking to take your next step up, we want someone who can bring a practical, “let’s get this done” attitude to the farm. Previous experience in poultry is great but not essential – what matters most is your leadership skills, problem-solving ability, and mechanical know-how. Ready to make an impact? We’re ready to meet you!

What You’ll Need

• Experience in poultry or animal welfare is desirable.
• A forklift license, or a willingness to get one.
• Strong leadership skills and the ability to motivate your team.
• General maintenance skills are a plus!
• Excellent time management and organisational abilities.
• Great communication skills to keep everything running smoothly.

Why Pace Farm?

• Attractive salary package including onsite accommodation.
• A collaborative and inclusive work environment that fosters teamwork.
• Access to ongoing learning and development opportunities to support your professional growth.
• Enjoy regular free products and complimentary flu vaccines to support your well-being.
• Located approximately 40 minutes from Newcastle in Buchanan with relocation assistance if needed.
