Quality Team Member - Season 2026

We’re looking for reliable, detail-focused people to join our Quality & Laboratory teams for the 2026 season. 

Whether you’re inspecting fruit on the line, supporting sample collection, or assisting with lab testing, these fixed-term roles support the important work of checking and testing our apples before they head to both local and international markets.

We have day and night shifts available, giving you options to suit your lifestyle.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Depending on where you’re placed, your role may include a mix of Quality or Lab tasks, such as:
  • Inspecting fruit for defects, pests, or quality concerns
  • Conducting basic quality tests (e.g., pressure, brix, internal checks)
  • Assisting with lab-based sample preparation and routine testing
  • Collecting, labelling, and organising samples accurately
  • Recording data using our digital tools and quality systems
  • Following hygiene, food safety, and workplace safety procedures
  • Supporting production teams and contributing to a smooth workflow

You’ll receive full training, so if you’re switched on and eager to learn, you’ll fit right in.

What you’ll bring:

  • Proven reliability and punctuality – we need people we can count on
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy in both inspection and data entry
  • A positive, team-oriented mindset and willingness to help where needed
  • Availability for the full season – from late January through to August 

What we offer: 

  • A friendly, down-to-earth team that treats you like whānau
  • One of the longest-running seasons in the industry — offering steady work and strong earning potential
  • Opportunities to grow your skills in both Quality and Lab functions
  • The chance to return in future seasons or expand into other departments
  • A workplace known for strong values and a people-first culture

If you’re keen to get stuck in, learn new skills, and help deliver top-quality apples to the world, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now and be part of a great team for the 2026 post-harvest season.
