Machine Operator / Vineyard Maintenance

Machine Operator / Vineyard Maintenance — Loveblock Wines, Awatere Valley Marlborough

We don't chase conformity. We chase naked terroir.

Loveblock farms organically, low-intervention, and completely unafraid to do things differently — because the land tells you what it needs, if you're willing to listen. That takes a good tractor operator who actually pays attention.

We're after someone who can run a tractor like it's second nature — mowing, spraying, spreading compost, cultivating cover crops — and who's just as handy keeping the gear that does it, (mowers, mulchers, sprayers, trimmers) running clean and sharp. Add in some irrigation, trellis work, and general vineyard graft, and you've got the job.

What You'll Need

• A driver's licence and a genuine can-do streak
• Growsafe certificate is a bonus, but can be arranged
• Comfortable starting early, and pitching in on the odd weekend at harvest
• An eye for detail — vineyards change daily, and so do you
• A team mentality, a straight-up work ethic, and respect for doing things safely

No corner-cutting, no shortcuts, no bulk chemicals masking bad farming. If that sounds like your kind of vineyard, we'd like to hear from you.
