We are looking for an Assistant Manager to join our team at Barton Station, a collection of five properties located 7 km south of Moyston in the southern Wimmera region of Western Victoria.

Barton Station has 25,000 self-replacing composite ewes and 2,500 Angus cows, supported by a team of 7 full-time staff and several livestock contractors who assist with tasks like lamb and calf marking, weaning, fencing, and pregnancy scanning for both sheep and cattle. The station is currently divided into two sections and is undergoing a major redevelopment. This includes subdividing paddocks, installing water systems, updating sheep yards and laneways, planting shelterbelts, and building containment yards. There's also a large silage program that supports the containment feeding system. We operate two 17-day joining periods for mature ewes and split calving into two six-week segments.

- Be experienced in planning and reporting within a corporate structure.
- Be able to manage contractors for outsourced activities.
- Have extensive livestock experience and work with a team of working dogs.
- Strong communication and team management skills.
- A positive attitude to drive cultural change and continuous improvement.
- Strong problem-solving skills.
- The ability to build close industry relationships.
- A commitment to innovation and staying up-to-date with industry trends.

The successful applicant will focus on optimizing the enterprise to drive productivity and profit through a hands-on work ethic, attention to detail, and data collection and analysis.

The package includes competitive compensation based on experience, covering all on-station living expenses. It also includes a well-equipped 4-bedroom home with established gardens and a swimming pool, as well as a work vehicle, phone, meat, wood, utilities and working dog food. The property is near the Grampians National Park, with school bus access at the front gate.

To apply, please send a cover letter addressing your suitability for the role along with an up-to-date resume and at least three references.
