Narwietooma Aggregation spans approximately 2.74 million acres across Narwietooma, Napperby, The Derwent and Glen Helen. Forming part of one of the world’s largest certified organic cattle land parcels, the aggregation is a large-scale breeding operation set against some of Central Australia’s most distinctive landscapes.
Located approximately 90 minutes from Alice Springs, Narwietooma offers an authentic station lifestyle with strong connections to the wider pastoral community. The property is home to the Mt Chappel Campdraft, while the surrounding region offers rodeos, races, local sport and some of Australia’s most iconic outback scenery.
We are seeking a capable and hands-on Assistant Manager to support the day-to-day management of Narwietooma Aggregation in the Northern Territory. This is an opportunity to play an important leadership role within a large-scale cattle operation, working closely with the Station Manager to deliver strong livestock, people, safety and property outcomes.
The role will support herd management, cattle movements, grazing plans, property development and the ongoing management of water resources and station assets. The Assistant Manager will lead by example, uphold high animal welfare and safety standards, and help ensure the property operates effectively in line with Hewitt’s organic, biosecurity and environmental requirements.
You will be an experienced cattle and station professional ready to take the next step into a broader operational leadership position. You will have practical livestock handling and property maintenance capabilities, combined with the confidence to coordinate people, priorities and daily station activities.
You will be comfortable working in a large-scale and remote pastoral environment where conditions and operational priorities can change quickly. A strong work ethic, sound judgement and a genuine commitment to animal welfare, safety and quality will be essential.
