Description

A Central Otago Stonefruit Orchard that is looking for thinners to join our team for the 2024-25 Season. McIntosh Orchard is based in Earnscleugh, Alexandra that has amazing views of the entire basin. We are 10 minutes by car from Alexandra or Clyde, and around an hour by car to Queenstown or Wanaka.

The thinning season will be going on for 4-5 weeks from the 4th of November, depending on weather and workload. The typical day goes from 8 am to 4:30 pm, 5 days a week (6-day weeks may happen if all staff agree to it). Thinning training will happen at the start of the season, so they understand our thinning standards.
