If you like fencing , hunting and people this could be just the job for you. Typically your majority of time would be spent with fence up keep , maintenance as addition to some new fencing , some Stock work in yards and a bit of time in the seat of a tractor assisting cropping management. The guiding would be outfitter assistance until proven competent on a train as you go basis . This is a 40 hour week job in a friendly and appreciative environment. Your predecessor worked for us for 13 years , the other two staff have been here longer . This is a great opportunity but please , if you are not a competent fencer , (conventional 8 wire post and batten fence ) you won't make our short list , sorry. . THANKS in advance , BJ Holdsworth
