Bryant Grimaldo was recruited to work in a piggery in rural Victoria in 2007. He started working as a stock person, today, he handles the day-to-day operations as Operations Manager at several sites around Australia.
Key Points
- A huge number of workers in the piggery were recruited from the Philippines.
- A background in agriculture is essential to qualify.
- Most Fridays, the workers gather to share a meal like roasted pig (lechon) to bond.
- Not many locals show interest in working in a rural setting, with limited interest the company is forced to recruit from overseas.
