About the Role

This is a hands-on role with a strong focus on tractor driving and machinery operation across our large cherry orchards. You’ll help keep our orchards running smoothly — from mowing, spraying, and towing cherry bins, to assisting with general orchard work when required.

  • Carrying out daily machinery checks and minor maintenance.
  • Supporting orchard operations such as pruning, irrigation, bird netting, and harvest preparation.
  • Following all health, safety, and environmental procedures under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.

What We’re Looking For

  • Previous experience operating tractors, farm vehicles, or machinery (essential).
  • Mechanically minded and confident working independently.
  • Physically fit and happy working outdoors in all conditions.
  • Positive attitude, great teamwork, and attention to detail.
  • Current NZ driver’s licence (tractor endorsement an advantage).

Why Join Us

  • Be part of one of New Zealand’s largest cherry operations.
  • Competitive hourly rate and great team culture.

If you take pride in operating machinery safely and efficiently — and like variety in your day — we’d love to hear from you!
