🍒 Join our 2027 Harvest Packhouse Team! 🍒

We are looking for enthusiastic and reliable people to join our Packhouse team for the upcoming cherry harvest season!

Based in Roxburgh, Central Otago, our large orchard packs approximately 350,000 kgs  of cherries during the summer season.

You'll be involved in packing and grading our cherries while working alongside a friendly, supportive team.

What's it like working with us?

If you're not a fan of working outside in the summer heat, a packhouse position could be just what you're looking for!

Our packhouse offers more regular working hours in a temperature-controlled environment. We enjoy creating a fun team atmosphere, with music playing throughout the day and the occasional shared morning or afternoon tea.

No previous packhouse experience is necessary, as full on-the-job training will be provided.

We work hard, but we also believe in making the season enjoyable!

We generally operate 7 days a week, but if you need a day off, we can arrange this through our roster where possible.

Please remember: Our packhouse is kept cool, so bringing warm clothing is a must!

Accommodation & Transport

Dorm rooms & camping accommodation options and transportation are available.

If you're looking for summer work, enjoy being part of a team and want to experience a harvest season in beautiful Central Otago, we'd love to hear from you!
