A privately owned 800+ acre ranch and wildlife property located on the scenic Willow City Loop in Gillespie County, Texas, is seeking a dependable Assistant Ranch Hand / Ranch Maintenance Assistant to support the Ranch Manager with routine property maintenance, animal care, equipment operation, and general ranch upkeep.
The ranch is home to white-tailed deer, exotic game, horses, longhorn cattle, and a ranch dog. This is a hands-on support position for someone who enjoys working outdoors, takes pride in quality work, and appreciates the responsibility that comes with caring for a well-maintained ranch property.
Because housing is not provided and scheduled weekend responsibilities are part of the position, candidates should reside within a reasonable commuting distance of Willow City, Texas.

Primary Responsibilities:
Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to:
  • Assist the Ranch Manager with daily ranch operations and property upkeep.
  • Help support routine ranch property maintenance, including upkeep of pastures, grounds, roads, trails, gates, and common areas.
  • Inspect fencing and assist with routine minor repairs using appropriate tools and established procedures.
  • Assist with routine ranch animal and wildlife care, including feeding horses, longhorn cattle, and the ranch dog, filling wildlife feeders, and performing basic property checks.
  • Safely operate ranch equipment used for routine property maintenance and ranch operations.
  • Perform basic operator-level equipment upkeep, including inspections, cleaning, fueling, and routine maintenance tasks.
  • Assist with light mowing, trimming, and vegetation management.
  • Help maintain ranch buildings, structures, tools, and equipment.
  • Complete seasonal projects and other duties as assigned based on ranch needs.

Qualifications:
  • 1–3 years of ranch or farm experience required; related experience in landscaping, construction, property maintenance, or similar outdoor work may be considered.
  • Valid Texas driver’s license required.
  • Experience operating tractors, skid steers, zero-turn mowers, UTVs, or similar equipment is a plus.
  • Comfortable working outdoors in varying weather conditions and rural terrain.
  • Ability to safely perform physical tasks, including occasional lifting and carrying materials up to approximately 50 pounds.
  • Dependable, punctual, organized, and able to take pride in quality work.
  • Able to work independently after receiving direction.
  • Willingness to learn ranch operations, equipment, and property management practices.
  • Available for scheduled weekend animal care responsibilities on a rotating basis, typically every other weekend.
  • Must reside within a reasonable commuting distance of the ranch.

What We're Looking For:
We are looking for someone who enjoys working outdoors, takes pride in maintaining a quality property, and works well as part of a team. The ideal candidate is dependable, hardworking, detail-oriented, willing to learn, and interested in a long-term opportunity with a privately owned ranch where stewardship, responsibility, and pride of ownership are valued.
To Apply:
Please submit:
  • Resume or summary of related experience.

The duties described above represent the general nature and level of work expected for this position and are not intended to be a complete list of all responsibilities. Duties may vary based on seasonal needs and ranch operations.
