A Harvesting labourer is an agriculture worker that operates a combine or forage harvester and other equipment to harvest crops. As a harvester, your primary job duties involve operating farm machinery, inspecting crops by hand, and performing basic maintenance tasks on all machines.
In some harvester positions, you use equipment like tractors and combines to gather forage for livestock. In other positions, you must harvest the crops by hand because of steep terrains that prevent the use of a machine or local regulations that require this method.
Experience with the machinery is desirable, although many individuals receive on-the-job skills training. Your duties often include routine maintenance and repair of the equipment. Your responsibilities sometimes involve pesticide application, for which you need a license.
