Employer Job Description
From Mr Apple's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Lead a high-performing team and play a key role in keeping New Zealand’s premium apples moving.
Join a business where people and apples are always growing. This unique 12-month fixed-term opportunity offers the best of both worlds - leading a team in one of our binstores during the packing season and gaining hands-on orchard experience during the growing season.
If you enjoy leading people, solving operational challenges and taking ownership of performance, while also building your horticultural knowledge and cross-functional skills, this is a fantastic opportunity to broaden your skills and make a real impact across our business.
What You'll Be Doing
- Lead, coach and support the binstores team to achieve daily operational goals
- Oversee the safe storage, treatment and dispatch of fruit while maintaining product quality
- Manage inventory accuracy, data recording and traceability requirements
- Coordinate fruit movements with packhouse, transport and orchard teams to maximise efficiency
- Run daily planning sessions and ensure resources are aligned to operational demands
- Drive a culture of continuous improvement, teamwork and accountability
What You'll Bring
- Previous experience leading or supervising a team
- Forklift operating experience and willingness to obtain any required licences
- Strong organisational skills and ability to coordinate multiple priorities
- Confidence using computers and systems, including basic Excel skills
- Excellent communication skills and ability to build strong working relationships
What We Offer
- A unique opportunity to build experience across both operational leadership and orchard operations
- Supportive team culture
- Career development across Binstores and Orchards with the potential to lead into permanent work
- Opportunity to contribute to a leading horticulture business
If you enjoy variety and want the opportunity to gain experience across multiple disciplines within a large horticultural organisation, we'd love to hear from you.
