About the role
Lead a high-performing team and play a key role in keeping New Zealand’s premium apples moving.
Join a business where people and apples are always growing. This unique 12-month fixed-term opportunity offers the best of both worlds - leading a team in one of our binstores during the packing season and gaining hands-on orchard experience during the growing season. If you enjoy leading people, solving operational challenges and taking ownership of performance, while also building your horticultural knowledge and cross-functional skills, this is a fantastic opportunity to broaden your skills and make a real impact across our business.
What You’ll Be Doing
• Lead, coach and support the binstores team to achieve daily operational goals
• Oversee the safe storage, treatment and dispatch of fruit while maintaining product quality
• Manage inventory accuracy, data recording and traceability requirements
• Coordinate fruit movements with packhouse, transport and orchard teams to maximise efficiency
• Run daily planning sessions and ensure resources are aligned to operational demands
• Drive a culture of continuous improvement, teamwork and accountability
What You’ll Bring
• Previous experience leading or supervising a team
• Forklift operating experience and willingness to obtain any required licences
• Strong organisational skills and ability to coordinate multiple priorities
• Confidence using computers and systems, including basic Excel skills
• Excellent communication skills and ability to build strong working relationships
What We Offer
• A unique opportunity to build experience across both operational leadership and orchard operations
• Supportive team culture
• Career development across Binstores and Orchards with the potential to lead into permanent work
• Opportunity to contribute to a leading horticulture business
If you enjoy variety and want the opportunity to gain experience across multiple disciplines within a large horticultural organisation, we’d love to hear from you.
