Job description
Our client requires up to 30 hardworking, nimble-fingered and reliable farm workers to harvest, pack, and sort vegetables and related crops in Drouin Victoria and the surrounding area. You MUST be available to start work from around early November 2024 to August 2025 and be available for a minimum of 4-6 days per week, 8-10 hours per day, for the duration of the season. Some weekend work may be offered. The positions involve varying early start times depending on crop availability and management requirements.

Duties may include, but are not limited to, harvesting, cleaning, trimming, sorting apples, and pruning trees outdoors. The duties involve regular lifting, constant standing, walking, and bending to pick, pack, and sort products.
You will have good communication skills and be able to work well in small and large teams from various cultural backgrounds.
Wages are paid as per the Australian Horticultural Award 2020 hourly rate. The ability to adhere to company Quality Assurance and OH&S requirements is a must.
