2022 Seasonal Orchard Work – Thinning (Nov 2022)

We have seasonal roles in the stunning Hawke’s Bay where you can enjoy plenty of sunshine, beach life and some pretty spectacular wineries while you do the mahi. 

‍The work 

Thinning is removing small apples in a bunch to give the rest space to reach apple perfection. You’ll be trained and supported as you learn the ropes by one of our orchard legends. You’ll be working in one of our diverse teams and we know you’ll be made to feel welcome from day one.  
This is an opportunity for you to work full-time from 7 November until 18 December.

• Busy is your happy place and you like to get your hands dirty and keep active 
• You have reliable transport (our orchards are spread across Hawke’s Bay) with a minimum of a Learners licence 
• You have the right to work in New Zealand and can pass pre-employment checks 

‍What we offer 

• A great team who recognises we are stronger together 
• Recognition when you do a great job 
• Competitive hourly rate of $22.10 
• Available backpacker accommodation spaces for anyone coming into the region 
• Scholarship of $500.00 to any student returning to tertiary study in 2023 (conditions apply) 
• Referral bonus of $100 if you refer a friend who stays with us to the end of the Thinning season

Mr Apple 

Just like no two apples are exactly the same, no two Mr Apple people are exactly the same either - and that’s just the way we like it. At Mr Apple we embrace diversity and we celebrate difference. What makes us successful is our people who come from a wide range of backgrounds, with different skills and unique ideas. We know that to grow premium apples, you need premium people.
