Armour's Apples on the edge of Warragul has a 34ha apple orchard and packing shed. We’re just about to start our harvest season, that runs through to late May, and need additional tractor operators to move apple bins around for harvest.
We’re seeking responsible, mechanically minded tractor operators to work with us through harvest, and one to continue with us long term.
You are self-motivated, have good interpersonal skills, and can handle repetitive work for 8-9 hours per day. Through harvest you’ll be moving bins of apples around the orchard, and help with other tasks such as moving reflective sheeting and picking.
For the ongoing role additional duties post-harvest will include mowing, mulching, spraying, irrigation checking, assisting with installation of hail netting, and some pruning and tree training.
Must have a manual driver’s licence and own transport, forklift licence desirable. Tractor driving experience preferred, but experience operating other machinery with manual transmission also ok. Ideally you know your way around a spanner and can do basic mechanical repairs.
Please include a brief cover letter explaining why you'd like the role, along with your resume.
