We are committed to the development of our people and retaining talent. We provide various training opportunities and career pathway options for people who are passionate about a career in horticulture.
As an approved Supplementary Seasonal Employer, we can recruit temporary visa holders already in New Zealand to plant, maintain, harvest or pack crops when there are not enough New Zealanders available to do the work.
Casual and full-time work is available throughout the year for a range of jobs including tree care, machinery operation, pruning and net construction. We also offer full-time apprenticeships from time to time. If you are interested in a career in horticulture, please check this page for current opportunities or contact us for more information.
