Job description

Station Hand - Angus Stud - Adelong, NSW

Our client is a highly recognised and respected family-owned seedstock operation, specialising in the production of superior Angus cattle and Merino sheep across a broader multi-property aggregation through advanced breeding selection, measured performance, and comprehensive performance recording.
We are currently seeking an enthusiastic, hands-on, and dedicated Station Hand to join our client's team at their well-maintained 1,600-hectare property near Adelong, NSW. In this pivotal operational role, you will work alongside the property management team to execute daily cattle operations, animal health protocols, rotational grazing, and pasture management tasks to maintain the property to the highest standard.
This Adelong property operates exclusively with cattle and pasture programs. While the position is primarily based here, the successful candidate may at times be required to work across other properties within the broader enterprise aggregation—where sheep operations and broadacre cropping occur to assist with peak-season workloads, stud events, and collaborative operational projects.
Your responsibilities will centre on cattle handling, where low-stress stock handling techniques are highly valued. Additionally, you will contribute directly to the property's pasture improvement programs by operating farm machinery, including tractors, seeders, and boom sprayers. The position offers an outstanding learning environment for an ambitious individual looking to advance their agricultural career while working in a highly supportive, safety-focused, and progressive workplace.
Employees join a passionate, dynamic, and forward-thinking team where safety, professional growth, and community culture are deeply embedded in the workplace environment.

• supplemented by an accommodation package tailored specifically to suit the successful candidate

This position offers an exceptional opportunity for long-term career progression, ongoing skill development, and a rewarding rural lifestyle in a highly desirable district.

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate will be a self-motivated team player with a passion for progressive livestock and pasture management, possessing the following skills and attributes:

• Practical experience in cattle handling, stock welfare, and animal health management (with sheep experience beneficial for cross-property work).
• Demonstrated ability to operate and maintain modern farm machinery, including tractors, seeders, and boom sprayers (a current ChemCert accreditation is highly regarded).
• Proven skills in low-stress stock handling techniques.
• Strong communication, organisation, and record-keeping skills with high attention to detail, including proficiency with agricultural technology and software programs such as AgriWebb, Outcross, Stockbook, Safe Ag Systems, and operating GPS-equipped machinery.
• General farm maintenance skills, including fencing and water infrastructure upkeep, alongside a strong commitment to Workplace Health and Safety.

Additional information

• Key hands-on role with one of Australia's leading seedstock producers.
• Engage in diverse livestock handling, cropping, and farm development.
• Attractive remuneration package including suitable quality housing.
