HEMI DAVID COLLIER
Manurewa
Summary
Worked as a 2IC dairy farmer assistant the last five years and highly enjoyed the lifestyle.The majority of my childhood was spent growing up on dairy farms in Reporoa, Mamaku and Golden Springs as my dad used to work on them. I have always had a passion for animals and farming ever since I was young so I would like to have the opportunity to work on a farm. I have my own animals- dogs, so I would like them to have their own space to roam and grow away from the city. I am honest, reliable, trustworthy, am a quick learner and I can think quickly on my feet. I work to a high standard and like to challenge myself.
Experienced 2IC dairy farmer with a focus on safe practices and effective team collaboration. Proven ability to manage daily farm operations and maintain equipment, driving productivity and safety on the farm.
Hardworking Farm Hand known for high productivity and efficient task completion. Possess specialized skills in animal husbandry, crop management, and equipment maintenance. Excel in communication, teamwork, and adaptability, ensuring seamless operations on the farm.
