Broccoli Harvest Team Members

About the Roles

We are seeking team members to work in a group harvesting broccoli for the 2025 Summer/Autumn season. Our Broccoli is harvested all year, over two locations – Summer from November to June in Southbridge, Canterbury and Winter from June to November in Amberley, North Canterbury.

We have a number of different positions available on both Fixed-Term and Permanent Contracts:
  • Broccoli Graders x 2
  • Stacker x 1
  • Broccoli Cutters x 6
Our preference is for the grader and stacker roles to be full-time permanent, which means you will need to be either a NZ citizen or resident to apply. For candidates on temporary or working holiday visas we can offer fixed-term contracts on a minimum of 3 months for the broccoli cutter roles.

Currently we do not have any accommodation available, but there are limited spaces for accommodation during the winter season in Amberley.

With broccoli harvesting you will be working outside in the paddock, cutting the broccoli, and placing on conveyor to be graded. The broccoli is cut to size requirements, it is then graded and stacked.
  • Roughly 45-50 hours a week with weekend work on a roster.
  • $26 p/h with a performance bonus when harvest targets are reached.
  • Training and PPE will be provided.
  • Based over 2 locations – Southbridge and Amberley.

  • Be physically fit.
  • A current driver’s licence and reliable transport to get to work (rural location with no public transport available)

  • A highly motivated individual with a positive attitude.
