Spinach and Salad Leaf Operator 225 views

Job Expired

Job Description

We grow Spinach year round in Gisborne, so this is a fulltime permanent role that requires you to drive our equipment on the road so applicants must hold a restricted or full current NZ Driver’s License. You will be willing to work outdoors, so being prepared to work in whatever weather Gisborne throws at us will be a plus.

We are looking for operators who have a passion for growing and the outdoors, thrive on challenging yourself and further your career with a vibrant team.

There aren’t many Spinach growers out there, so we know we are going to have to train you, but if you do have tractor driving experience or even Growsafe that would be a massive advantage.  If you don’t, as long as you are pro-active, productive, positive with a can-do attitude, hardworking and good with people (we work as a team), we will do the rest.

Benefits

  • Passion for the outdoors
  • Exciting opportunities and challenges
  • Working with a vibrant team
  • Opportunities for career development

Job Requirements

  1. Passion for growing and the outdoors
  2. Able to challenge yourself to further your career
  3. Tractor driving experience or Growsafe – would be an advantage
  4. Proactive, positive attitude, hardworking with good communication skills
