We like to think of ourselves as fruit on a mission and as rebels with a cause: to help people, communities and the environment around the world thrive through the goodness of kiwifruit. We work with around 2,800 New Zealand and 1,500 international growers and post-harvest companies to source the best-quality Zespri Kiwifruit which we supply through our distribution partners to wholesale and retail customers. We are one of New Zealand's best-known international brands, dedicated to creating sustainable long-term value for growers.

this role will support the evaluation operations team across a variety of seasonal activities. You’ll be involved in collecting fruit from orchards, preparing and testing samples in the laboratory, supporting sensory and consumer trial activity, and helping ensure data, quality and safety standards are maintained throughout the season.
This is a fixed-term contract running from 1 September 2026 to 16 December 2026.
Supporting harvest activities, including picking maturity samples, harvesting fruit, grading, packing, sensory activity, following protocols and sorting trays into cool store.
Preparing and completing labelling tasks, including printing, tagging and placing labels on bags and trays.
