Monitor animals for signs of illness, injury, or abnormal behavior and promptly report findings to supervisors.
Support veterinary staff with handling, medical procedures, and treatments as needed.
Operate vehicles and equipment safely, including ATVs, tractors, and utility vehicles.
Maintain tools, machinery, and work areas in clean, working condition.
Perform groundskeeping duties such as mowing, weed control, and debris removal.
Adhere to all safety, animal welfare, and biosecurity protocols to ensure the well-being of both animals and staff.
Provide weekend, holiday, and occasional after-hours coverage as needed.

6 months to 1 year of experience working with animals (ranch, farm, zoo, or veterinary setting preferred).
Strong work ethic, reliability, and ability to follow detailed instructions.
Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record.
Comfortable operating ATVs, tractors, and small equipment.
Physically capable of lifting 50–75 lbs and performing strenuous outdoor labor.
Willing and able to work in all weather conditions, including heat, cold, and rain.
Ability to use common hand, power, and yard tools safely.

Work is primarily outdoors in a rural ranch environment.
Must be able to walk, bend, climb, and stand for extended periods.
Exposure to animals, allergens, dust, and cleaning agents is routine.
Must observe strict safety standards when working around wildlife and equipment.
