Job description

Your Employer
Our client is a growing, family-owned grazing business operating across western Queensland, with a strong focus on commercial Merino wool and beef production. They are actively investing in long-term property improvements, including fencing, water infrastructure and practical station systems that support better day-to-day management.

This is a hands-on, family-oriented operation where the owners remain closely involved and provide support during major livestock programs. The role is based on a large mixed sheep and cattle station near Winton, suited to someone who enjoys remote station life, practical autonomy and taking pride in a well-run property.

The Role
Reporting directly to the owners, the Station Manager will take responsibility for the day-to-day operation of a mixed grazing enterprise running Merino sheep and breeding cattle. This is a practical, independent role covering livestock, water, machinery, contractors, maintenance planning and ongoing property improvement work.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Manage daily sheep and cattle husbandry, animal health and welfare
  • Plan and carry out mustering using motorbikes and side-by-side buggies
  • Oversee lambing, lamb marking, crutching, shearing and weaning programs
  • Monitor stock condition, feed availability and seasonal conditions
  • Maintain water infrastructure including bores, tanks, troughs and dams
  • Operate and maintain station machinery, trucks, graders, loaders and tractors
  • Coordinate contractors for shearing, fencing, crutching and livestock work

About You
You will be a practical station operator with strong sheep experience, sound cattle knowledge and the confidence to work independently in a remote location. You will be organised, reliable and able to communicate well with owners, contractors and support staff.

The ideal candidate will bring:

  • Practical sheep management and husbandry experience
  • Cattle husbandry experience and strong livestock welfare standards
  • Confidence operating station machinery, including graders, loaders and trucks
  • HR licence, or relevant truck operating experience
  • Experience maintaining water infrastructure and general station assets
  • Basic mechanical aptitude and a tidy approach to gear and equipment
  • Firearms licence and Q Fever vaccination, or willingness to obtain

The Benefits:
This role offers a strong remuneration package, quality station housing and the opportunity to take genuine ownership of a well-supported western Queensland grazing operation. It would suit an experienced Station Manager or a capable senior station hand ready to step into a long-term management role.

Benefits include:

  • $120,000-$150,000 + superannuation, based on experience
  • Fuel-inclusive Hilux space-cab vehicle provided
  • Fully renovated, air-conditioned 3-bedroom cottage
  • Starlink internet and RFDS first aid facilities
  • Four weeks annual leave, with seasonal planning around peak periods

Couples seeking a long-term station opportunity are encouraged to apply, with potential part-time or contract work available for a partner.
