This is your opportunity to join a small, committed team of individuals who are passionate about what they do and the region they work in.

- Current Growsafe and Approved Handler Certificate would be desirable.
- Previous maintenance work experience.
- Available for early starts and possible weekend work when required. Due to the demands of our seasonal operation, you will be flexible with working hours to get the job done.
- Own transport is essential as you will be required to work at either our Bendigo or Pisa vineyards.
- Ability to work well on your own as well as part of a team.
- Be a New Zealand resident or be legally entitled to work in New Zealand.
Remuneration will be based on experience and industry standard.
