We are hiring! 🛻

We are growing our team and looking for a jack of all trades teammate who can muck in, with a can do attitude and enjoys working both in a team and independently by themselves.

We are currently looking for someone who wants some casual hours, happy to do whats available but whose current life situation may not suit full time commitment yet.

Join our local, family run business.

• We have a variety of projects and gear to keep the days interesting
• Good hours with no weekend work (unless you want it) 😉 and competitive remuneration.

From moving hedge clippings, to cleaning calf pens, digging trenches, to foundation prep, we are a one stop shop and there isn’t much we don’t turn our hand too! We take pride in doing what we do and attention to detail is one of our most important values.

You will be experienced in operating some or all of the following… diggers, truck driving, and skid steer. Ideally you will have a Class 4, a good safety record, be physically fit and able to do a range of tasks.

We are a recent start up new business and so our integrity is of most importance.

If this sounds like you or you know someone who might fit this gig… give us a call now!

There is no closing date for applications, we will be reviewing applicants as they come in.

(Please Note: You must be legally entitled to work in NZ to apply for this role.)

We look forward to hearing from you!

Bobs been working around the clock lately! ⏰ We’ve linked up with a couple of local hedge cutters, following them around & tidying up those clippings and branches. No job is too big or small… Give us a call if you need someone to take off the load and tidy up anything on farm 📞

It’s 🌼 spring! ☀️ And we see your calves starting to make their way outside, out of the pens! 🐮
We have already started making bookings for October and November to clean out calf sheds... so if you’ve got something else you would rather be doing, then give us a tingle to get booked in, we’ll do them for you! ☺️
