• Analyse whole-of-farm performance, financial drivers, and production systems to identify opportunities for profitability improvement, risk mitigation, and operational efficiency for commercial farming enterprises.
• Design and oversee complex, fee-for-service consulting programs, including diagnostic assessments, strategic farm plans, and performance reporting with clearly defined commercial outcomes.
• Manage and grow a portfolio of key commercial clients across the Mundubbera and wider North Burnett region, acting as a trusted senior advisor to business owners and farm management teams.
• Provide leadership and technical guidance to junior consultants and agronomy staff, supporting capability development and consistency of advisory standards.
• Contribute to regional business planning, including forecasting, demand analysis, and identification of new consulting and advisory service opportunities.
• Engage with suppliers, research bodies, and industry partners to ensure advisory recommendations remain current, commercially relevant, and aligned with best practice.
• Represent our client at industry forums, grower groups, and field days, delivering presentations and contributing to thought leadership within the regional agricultural sector.
