Do you have excellent attention to detail and enjoy working in a cooler environment over summer?

Join our packhouse team and play a critical part in ensuring our cherries get packed safely and correctly.

About the job:

As soon as the buckets with cherries arrive at the packhouse, they need to get tipped into our sorting machine. After this step, the pre-selected cherries need to be graded and sorted before they get packed into a box. Our boxes have different sizes and need to be weighed, lidded and transported into the coolstore.

As a packhouse worker, you will play a critical role in one of these steps to ensure that only the best product reaches our customers.

As the summers are usually hot in Central Otago, it can be very refreshing to work in cold temperatures. You feel less exhausted compared to working in the sun and can still enjoy warm and sunny afternoons or evenings down at the lake.

When the season gets closer to its peak, we will run two shifts in the packhouse. You can choose to start working early in the morning (around 6am) and have the evening off or start later in the day and enjoy slow mornings.

About you:

• Experience in packhouses or similar environments preferred

• Be physically fit and able to stand long periods of time

• Good communication skills and ability to work well within a team

• Flexibility to adjust to changes in production schedules, priorities, or packaging requirements

• Strong attention to detail and safety awareness

• A continuous improvement mindset – we like to push the status quo

About the benefits:

• Supportive and dynamic work environment

• Competitive wages

• Loyalty bonus if you stay the whole season and meet the attendance, punctuality and work ethic requirements

• Environment that encourages the free flow of ideas
