• 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.
