AddressAbout the role
We have an opportunity for a Vineyard Operator to join our Barossa Vineyards team.
Reporting to the Vineyard Manager, you will carry out a broad range of day-to-day viticultural activities.
- Conduct day-to-day viticulture activities from hands on manual tasks (irrigation R&M, trellis R&M) to the operation of complicated viticultural machinery (barrel pruning, slashers, trimmers, multirow spraying equipment) including mixing and application of agrochemicals and use and maintenance of irrigation systems
- Work with AgCode and other company-wide computer systems to conduct task and payroll recording as well as vineyard data collection and assessments

About you
Our ideal candidate will bring relevant field experience and exposure to mechanical operations, but ultimately, we’re open on the sort of experience you may have – you don’t need to have previous vineyard experience. We’re searching for someone who is motivated, reliable, team oriented and is passionate about a career in the wine industry.
Key requirements:
- Outstanding level of commitment, drive and initiative
- Ability to follow directions and work cooperatively with others
- Willingness to tolerate outside conditions – often hot/cold and dusty
- Good communication, organisational, planning and problem-solving skills and able to prioritise tasks
- Able to perform manual handling tasks (a medical check will be part of the process)
- Current driver’s license
- Ability to perform shift work and overtime during peak seasonal periods
What’s it like to work here?
We bring our whole selves, we’re courageous and we deliver together – that’s our DNA. We’re a passionate bunch who enjoy working together, like to have fun and keep things down-to-earth. We’re brave enough and care enough to have the right conversations to get the best outcome and are famous for our can-do attitude. We’re definitely “glass half full” people and see challenges as opportunities and move with pace to achieve our goals.
