Job Expired

Leaderbrand Produce is one of New Zealand’s largest and most diverse horticultural businesses.  A significant part of this is our vineyard and subsequent wine production; based in Gisborne, the operation covers 240ha of Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer vines.

We require gondola drivers and a machine harvester operator for our 2019 Gisborne harvest.  Harvest is estimated to begin on the 21th February 2019 and finish around the 20th March.  Gondola drivers must have some tractor driving experience and the harvester operator must have experience driving a grape harvester.

This is an ideal position for vineyard operators working further south wanting to experience a Gisborne vintage before the rest of the country kicks into harvest mode.  Help will be provided with accommodation.

If you have the skills required, are willing to work long hours and want to experience what Gisborne and Leaderbrand Produce has to offer then we want to hear from you
