  3. Health and Safety Compliance: Adhere to strict health and safety protocols at all times to ensure a safe working environment for yourself and your colleagues.
  4. Maintenance Checks: Perform daily maintenance checks on your forklift to ensure it is in optimal operating condition, reporting any issues promptly.
Minimum Requirements:
  1. A valid New Zealand recognised forklift operator certification (i.e OSH).
  2. Proven experience in forklift operation, preferably in an agricultural setting.
  3. Ability to work flexible hours during the harvest season, including weekends and evenings.
  4. Legally able to work in NZ.
  5. Strong focus on safety and precision in handling machinery.
  6. Good physical condition and ability to coordinate movements precisely.
Why Join Us?
  1. Become part of a leading kiwifruit company that values teamwork and safety.
  2. Contribute to the successful harvest of premium quality kiwifruit.
  3. Receive competitive compensation and work in a dynamic agricultural environment.
  4. Opportunities to further your position within the company after Harvest.
