About Simfresh:
Simfresh is a large, 100% family-owned national Citrus & Fig Growing and Packing business with farms and businesses in South Australia, NSW & QLD. We have experienced considerable growth over the past 6 years, and have recently purchased a Glasshouse facility (1 Hectare) in the Bundaberg region specializing in fig production.
Simfresh employs close to 200 workers nationally, and packs close to 2 million units annually – supplying both domestic and overseas markets, with Australian citrus and figs.
The Position:
The Agronomist role is essential to the sustained success of our Queensland operations, and will focus on enhancing growing techniques and productivity on our farms. The position will be based out of our Bundaberg office, but will involve visiting all Queensland farms – and potentially other Simfresh sites as well from time to time.
We have made many improvements to the Glasshouse which we have been running for over a year now. We have upgraded Infrastructure, Technology, Irrigation & Process. This will be where 95% of work will be done.
We have plans of doubling our Glasshouse operation within 2 years, and will then increase again from there.

Understanding of bugs and diseases is critical to the role, as well as an understanding of the science involved in Glasshouse operations including boilers, CO2 management, Coco Fibre, Nursery work, and growing techniques. We have upgraded our Priva system last year as well.
