Being one of a team of "Packers", you will be required to pack fruit into the appropriate packaging and discard any fruit that does not come up to standard. Training is given to help you recognise the standard of fruit required, also how to switch your table belts on and off safely. An element of lifting is required.
 At the end of the day, cleaning up immediate work area, picking up any dropped fruit and taking the discards out to the assigned place, as well as sweeping and cleaning rollers and belts.
The work is quite repetitive, and you will need the capability to self-motivate to achieve goals and manage yourself when the work is physically demanding as the job requires you to spend long periods on your feet. Temperatures in Central Otago can be extreme.

Our usual work hours are 7.30am to 5pm, although these hours may be longer when necessary due to the volume of fruit being harvested. During summer fruit packing we work Monday to Saturday inclusive.
Work is paid by the hour, with a base hourly rate of $21.20 plus 8% holiday pay.
Accommodation is available near the packhouse in Ettrick. Cost is $17 per night per person in a twin share room. Full facilities provided - kitchen, laundry, shower.  Other accommodation options are available if you are self-contained. 
Whats next? We will then send you an application form to complete and return via email.  If we think you are appropriate and we have a favourable response from your referees, we will then send you a formal job offer.
