• Opportunities to meet and work with people from around the world
• A workplace that values ideas and initiative
Before you apply
This is a seasonal harvest role, so flexibility and reliability matter.
• Full-season availability is strongly preferred
• December and January are our busiest months, so being available over Christmas and New Year is important
• During peak, expect a mix of long and shorter days. Some afternoons run late to keep up with the harvest operations, and other days we finish earlier, so a flexible attitude to hours is a must.
• Weekend work is required during peak, with rostered days off during the week
• You must have the legal right to work in New Zealand
