Plant Nursery Assistant

We are looking for several fixed term nursery assistants based just outside of Arrowtown. This is for a period of 4 weeks with the possibility of extending the term, depending on how the season progresses. These positions are to begin from the 25th August. You will need to be available no later than the 2nd September.

We grow a range of plants, including exotic and native species.

Your main duties will be: - 

• Pricking out seedlings
• Weeding
• Potting up plants
• Moving plants between sites

Experience isn't essential but it will be beneficial for your application. 

A full, clean driving license, good work ethic, fluent in English, punctuality and self motivation are essential, as is the right to work in New Zealand. Pay is dependent upon your experience. 

This is a physically demanding job where you are expected to lift up to 15kg for long periods and within a fast paced role with tight deadlines, so we require people who are used to fast paced environments and are keen to work. This role is outside, exposed to the elements where we work in all weather conditions. You will need to supply your own work wear, suitable to this type of work.

Own transport is essential, due to location of work.

Please send through an updated CV and 2 references using form below. Applications accepted via this way ONLY.
