Overseer

Job description

We're looking for an Overseer to join a family-run livestock and cropping business in Western NSW.

Mount Hope Pastoral is a big, well-resourced place (145,971 acres across three properties), and this role comes with plenty of variety - goats, sheep, trade cattle in good years, plus fodder and cropping. You'll be based on one of the properties about 125km South of Cobar and 145km North of Hillston, with a 4-bedroom house provided.

This is a great chance for someone who's already got solid livestock and machinery skills and is ready to step into a leadership role. You'll work alongside a supportive Station Manager but also assist in the responsibility of day-to-day operations - from mustering and water runs through to mentoring staff and helping plan ahead.

A bit about the role:

  • Hands-on livestock work (sheep, goats, and some cattle)
  • Seasonal cropping support and machinery operation
  • Water runs, fencing, general maintenance
  • Helping supervise station hands and contractors
  • Using farm tech like Agriwebb (training available)

A bit about you:

  • Strong livestock background
  • Confident with machinery and happy to jump in wherever needed
  • Good communicator and a steady leader
  • Safe, practical, and reliable
  • Comfortable living remotely

What's on offer:

  • Competitive pay package + 4-bedroom home, utilities, and meals
  • Casual work options for a partner, depending on availability
  • Family-friendly team who look out for each other
  • Career progression and training in a forward-thinking business

Please note this role is open to Permanent Australian Residents or Citizens only.

If you're keen for a rewarding role with responsibility, variety, and space to grow, we'd love to hear from you. APPLY NOW or to discuss further, please contact Anna Brown on 0427 644 527 or Kate McKittrick on 0409 393 696.
