Career objective
I am currently employed as a broiler farm manager with Mount Barker Chickens WA. This is mainly a labouring position and I wish to get back into more of a management role such as I had as a breeder farm manager with Inghams. I prefer working with breeders and would like to manage a breeder farm again for a large professional company.
I have managed both conventional and tunnel ventilated sheds and I am experience with Fancom and Chore time operating systems.
