Seasonal work

The Work

You’d rather work among rows of plants than rows of desks, and feel the breeze instead of the air conditioning. Seasonal work gets you involved in a wide variety of tasks and experiences, from nursery to orchard, Tauranga to Whakatāne.

The Play

From the little things like regular ice-cream treats or a BBQ, to team events like indoor sports, surfing days and white water rafting, if you like working with great people, you’ll also enjoy the fun activities we do in our downtime.

The Stay

We may be able to offer clean and safe accommodation.
