Irrigationist/ Irrigation Installer

Our Client ARKLE FARMS (OPERATIONS) PTY LTD ABN – 64 631 009 482 – Located in Munglinup, WA is seeking a Full-time position for Irrigationist between $87,000 - $95,000 a year.
Arkle Farms is major farming enterprise based in Western Australia and owned by the Cowan family. It operates a mixed farming enterprise, comprising broadacre cropping, an Angus stud and a commercial sheep flock, across four farms - Bedford Harbour (to the west of Esperance), Varley Farms (at Lake Varley), Coronet Hill (to the east of Esperance) and Gregmaun (near Lake King). The Group manages 36,600 arable hectares.
The Cowan family’s philosophy is to build a highly sustainable and productive farming enterprise applying regenerative farming techniques appropriate to the properties it manages.
