Tasmanian Oyster Co (TOC for short) is committed to being the leader in sustainable oyster production, striving for best practice and continuous improvement in the management of the environment in which we operate.
The Role:
We are currently looking for Farmhands for our Little Swanport Nursery. Shifts are Monday to Friday, working hours can change to meet tide, and weather changes.
Whilst we welcome experience, you don’t need any, but you do need to be willing to get in and have a go; and be prepared for hands-on outdoor work in all weather conditions.
You do need to love the water! Our days are spent out on boats looking after our oysters. That means we get warm, sunny days and we get wild, wet and cold days.
In the first 1-3 months, you will:
Complete the TOC onboarding process, including our safety induction, get to know your work mates and their roles within our business
Learn our company vision and values and what drives our successes
Get in and have a go – learn the tasks and ask lots of questions
Shadow our team leader and experienced farmhand to get an understanding of your work
Check in with our People and Safety team to ensure you have everything you need to succeed
In 3-6 months, you will:
Demonstrate an understanding of the tasks at hand, our systems and procedures
Work cooperatively with others and use your initiative to find tasks to do
Understand our values and consciously work to them
May have the opportunity to attend further training or be signed up to Certificate III in Aquaculture
After 6 months, you will:
Be able to work more autonomously and pro-actively
Learn more about TOC's structure and opportunities for your career in the future
Potentially be undertaking a Certificate III in Aquaculture, obtaining tickets like forklift and coxswains
