Dairy Farm Manager

Company:

Our client is one of the Middle East’s leading integrated dairy and agribusiness groups, an organisation undergoing significant modernisation, expansion, and investment in large-scale, high-performance farming operations. The business has recently launched a new state-of-the‑art 4,000-cow facility (designed for future expansion to 8,000 cows), equipped with the latest genetics, automated systems, and a renewed commitment to operational excellence, animal health, and professional, merit‑driven team culture.

The company is reshaping its farming division with upgraded infrastructure, and a focus on accountability, high performance, and proactive management. This new “model farm” is located roughly 40‑45 minutes from Dubai, giving senior staff access to a modern expat lifestyle while working in one of the region’s most advanced dairy environments.
