Wool Presser Courses

Wool Presser careers

A Wool Presser manages the final stage of the wool harvesting process by compressing and baling shorn wool within a shearing shed or farm environment. You might work for a contractor, moving between properties during the peak harvest period. Wool Pressers focus on categorising fleeces, operating mechanical presses, and ensuring each bale meets specific weight and density requirements. You will be responsible for weighing, branding, and documenting bales to ensure the clip is ready for transport and sale.

Wool Pressers are vital to the logistical success of Australia’s wool industry. You will need to be physically strong, disciplined, and highly organised to manage the heavy workload safely. You will liaise with wool classers and shed overseers to ensure all documentation is precise and that the shearing floor remains clear and efficient throughout the day.
