The successful applicant will be primarily responsible for executing a range of tractor work. Irrigation and trellis maintenance, ground keeping and general assistance as requested, is also required.
The successful applicant will have an ability to build rapport and trust around them, be able to self-start, show initiative and problem solve as they go. They will take pride in their work and enjoy being outdoors.
Flexible work hours are by mutual agreement. Previous vineyard practical experience is required, while any outstanding certificates/licenses and further mechanical training, is happily provided by Whitehaven.
Closing Date: 31st August 2018
