Magnus Kahl Seeds is a privately-owned Australian company with a strong presence both locally and in international markets. We specialise in the breeding, production, and marketing of premium onion and shallot genetics — and we're growing.

We’re looking for a dedicated Onion Bulb Production Manager to join our close-knit and highly motivated team. This is a hands-on, dynamic role ideal for someone with practical farming experience who thrives in a collaborative environment and wants to play a vital role in the production of high-quality seed bulbs.

🔧 What You’ll Be Doing

As the Onion Bulb Production Manager, you will lead and support the operational side of our seed bulb and breeding nursery programs. Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing all field operations for onion and shallot seed bulb production, starting at 10 acres, and building up to potentially 40 acres — including soil preparation, sowing, spraying, fertilising, irrigating, and harvesting.
• Coordinating bulb grading activities (commercial and parent lines) across our South Australian and Merbein (Victoria) sites, with support from the site manager and selection team.
• Supporting the seed production team in reaching key production targets.
• Assisting the site manager with cleaning and processing commercial and parent seed lines.

✅ What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking someone who’s not afraid to roll up their sleeves and is passionate about quality crop production. Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Experience in commercial onion production (preferred)
• A current driver’s license
• Forklift license (preferred)
• ChemCert or Farm Chemical Users Permit (preferred)
• Experience operating tractors, boom sprayers, and general farm equipment
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• A proactive, problem-solving mindset and positive attitude
• Excellent time management and basic computer literacy
• Willingness to travel interstate when required
