About the Company:
Southern Fresh Foods is a leading provider of specialty produce including salads, herbs, and baby vegetables. Owned by the Dunn family, Southern Fresh is an exciting and rewarding business to work for with every day bringing new challenges and possibilities. Everything we grow is handled with perfect skill and care so that our customers receive 100% quality every time, ‘quality grown within’.
Our produce is in high demand, and we are constantly growing, exploring new markets, and launching new products. It is important to note that growing isn’t always pretty fields and sunny days. The work can be intense and forever changing therefore an adaptable mindset is crucial.
About the role:
We are looking for a fixed term irrigation team member to join our outdoor team Sunday - Thursday (approximately 40 - 50 hours per week) for the summer season starting mid-late September. For the right person, there may also be long term opportunities in our outdoor cropping team.
This is a varied role requiring a hands-on approach across our horticulture operation to ensure our irrigation program is followed and completed across the crops.
This role will be responsible for driving tractors, setting up irrigation on farms and monitoring the irrigators. Previous experience is advantageous, but we will provide you with on-the-job training. Just bring along your can-do attitude, your willingness to work and a smile.
