Senior Dairy Veterinarian

Build the kind of dairy career you've always wanted

Are you an experienced production animal veterinarian looking for more than routine farm visits and pregnancy testing?

At Vet Clinic Morrinsville, we're looking for a senior dairy veterinarian who wants to become a trusted advisor to progressive dairy farmers and play a key role in shaping the future of one of New Zealand's most respected rural practices.

Based in the heart of the Waikato, you'll work alongside a highly experienced team supporting some of New Zealand's best dairy businesses. This is a role where your expertise will be valued, your ideas will be heard, and your career can continue to grow.

What makes this role different?

This isn't just another dairy vet position.

You'll have the opportunity to:

✔ Develop long-term advisory relationships with progressive dairy clients

✔ Lead and grow herd health and production programmes

✔ Influence clinical direction and service development

✔ Mentor younger veterinarians and help shape the next generation

✔ Work within a collaborative team that genuinely supports each other

✔ Enjoy a varied caseload that extends well beyond seasonal work

Whether your interests lie in herd health, reproduction, youngstock performance, nutrition, mastitis management, consultancy, or business development, we'll help you build a role around your strengths.
