This is an excellent opportunity for an individual who is smart, a self-starter, organized and possesses strong problem solving and supervisory skills. Honesty, integrity, and a very strong work ethic are a must. This is a hands on role, not a desk job. We expect a lot from this manager.

• Must be highly organized and have a specialized eye for detail
• Self-starter, highly motivated, honest and able to complete projects with limited or no direct supervision.
• Must be able to follow instructions and communicate effectively with support team and ranch owners.
• Must be able to operate and perform routine maintenance for all landscape and ranch machinery. Machine repair skills are a bonus.
• Must possess or be able to obtain, within six months of employment, a Political Subdivision Pesticide/Herbicide Applicator’s license issued by the Texas Department of Agriculture.
• Must be literate with the computer and have proficiency with Microsoft office suite of tools including Word, EXCEL, and email.
This position will manage and perform the following responsibilities planned by property owners (Will require manual labor on a regular basis):
• Manage herd of Brahman (hands on skills required here) this includes ensuring they stay healthy and the calves kept alive
• Ranch maintenance, to include fields, fences and care for beautiful oak trees

• Oversee the pecan business (we have contractors doing the actual work)
• Manage and perform the spraying and production of the coastal hay
Coordinate and manage onsite contractors for big projects as needed
• Help with agricultural and technology decisions
• Find and manage ranch labor.
We understand the importance of balance and we do our best to be flexible on hours. However, this is a 5 1/2 day a week job. Herd need attending on the weekends (minimal hours only).
We are looking for someone to grow with our business and who feels responsible for its overall well-being.
The successful candidate will enjoy a competitive salary, a somewhat flexible work schedule, paid vacation time (1 week vaca, 6 holidays) and optional on-site housing (after a trial period). Starting pay can be as high as $45,000 (depending on level of experience). For more information email: [FILLED]
