Overseer

Location: Brooklyn

Job type: Full time, Permanent - Not suitable for WHV holders

A rare opportunity exists to join Brooklyn Station as Overseer, offering the chance to step into a position with genuine responsibility and a clear pathway into management.

Situated on the outskirts of Lucindale and spanning 3,800 hectares, Brooklyn Station is a well-run enterprise managing 20,000 (non-mulesed) Merino sheep and approximately 700 Angus cattle. We are seeking a high-performing Senior Station Hand who is ready to take the next step into junior management and build a long-term career within our business.

This is more than just an Overseer position - it is a development pathway into management. You will work closely with management and gain exposure to planning and operational decision-making, staff supervision and leadership, along with increasing responsibility and autonomy as you grow in the role. Half of our current managers started as Overseers within our business, demonstrating our strong focus on internal progression.

The successful applicant will have:

  • Proven experience across all aspects of station work (sheep & cattle)
  • Competence and confidence operating 2-wheeled motorbikes
  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively within a team
  • Well-trained working dog/s
  • A genuine desire to step into leadership

In addition to an attractive salary and a work-life balance that allows you to enjoy life outside of work, we offer a range of benefits including free, comfortable accommodation (3-bedroom house) with all utilities provided, quarterly fuel allowance, working dog allowance, meat, company uniforms, and more.

This role suits someone who is looking for more than just a job and wants a clear pathway into management, with plenty of training and development opportunities.

To be considered for this role, you must send an up-to-date resume + short cover letter outlining why you feel you would be a good fit for the role. Prior to any offer, references will be checked and must include at least one from your most recent employer.
