Careers

If you like the outdoors and livestock and enjoy riding a motorbike or horse, then it is worth your while to consider a career in the Pastoral Industry.

Jumbuck Pastoral has been operating since 1888 and prefers to source its Managers and Overseers from within the organisation. This has proved a successful and long term strategy to deal with filling managerial vacancies. With 12 stations to run it can be seen that anyone with ambition can progress to Overseer and from there to Manager.

As an Overseer, you are provided with a home and your keep is provided as well. This means no grocery bills, phone rental, rent or house payments. This makes it possible to save a considerable part of your wage.

Jumbuck is an equal opportunity Employer with three female Overseers employed at the current time.

Jumbuck encourages Managers of our large pastoral Sheep Stations to get their pilots licence to do their own stock spotting and muster coordination from the Cessna 172 Station aircraft.

Jumbuck offers a Certificate III in Agriculture at the majority of Stations. This generally takes 18 months to complete and provides the trainee with a Trade Certificate which is recognised Australia wide.

It is worth noting that the majority of Jumbuck Managers started at the bottom as a Jackaroo - just like you will.
