Our vineyards, forests, farms, orchards, and seas have roles for everyone – from immediate jobs and careers, to training and taster courses to get you started. We need people with a range of interests, skills, experiences, and backgrounds.

Opportunities aren’t just in remote, labour-based roles. Some jobs are in our cities and include work in science, technology, business management, logistics, animal welfare, marketing, research, and development.

Training and learning opportunities

Industry-accredited taster courses (some of which are free) teach you basic skills. Sometimes, training is part of the job, so you can upskill and progress while you earn.

If you want a career change, there are qualifications at all levels available around New Zealand.
