Nokomai is an historic high-country sheep and cattle station nestled in its own valley at the foot of the Garvie Mountains in Northern Southland New Zealand.

Employing a small, dedicated rural team of Stock and Agriculture Managers, Shepherds, Station Cooks and seasonal casual workers, this role provides administrative and accounting support.

You’ll be part of something pretty special, supporting this iconic high-country station. This role offers:

• Opportunity to work remotely
• Flexible hours (with commitment to accounting timeframes)
• Being part of a supportive rural team with a shared love of farming
• Opportunity to grow your skills in agricultural systems and administrative
• Professional handover with thorough training and initial support

Whilst not site based, you’ll have the opportunity to visit the station and experience the farm working firsthand.
