Brodrick was appointed district surveyor in 1888 and transferred to Timaru. Brodrick surveyed the mountain boundaries of many pastoral runs, whose Crown land leases were expiring. This involved a topographical survey and triangulation of most of the eastern side of the alps, from Rangitata River in the north to the Hunter River in the south.
Brodrick was awarded an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 1919 and Companion of the Imperial Service Order in 1920.
