Job Description

  • Love Working with Plants and Being Hands-On? This Job is for You!
  • Enjoy outdoor-style work in a protected environment - rain or shine, you'll be growing beautiful flowers all year round.


Working in a well-established premium flower-growing business, known for treating their team right. They offer excellent working conditions, great training, and they are proud of their low staff turnover.

What is in it for you?

  • Hands-on work in an environment protected from the elements
  • Competitive pay $26+ per hour (based on experience)
  • Ongoing training and development - plenty of opportunity to learn and grow (pun intended)
  • Supportive, close-knit team passionate about what they do


What You'll Be Doing:

  • Preparing soil and planting bulbs
  • Managing crops and assisting with pest control and spraying
  • Harvesting flowers and preparing them for dispatch
  • Operating machinery and helping with general maintenance


The flowers are grown undercover all year round, so there's always something to do. You'll enjoy a variety of tasks across the seasons, typically working Monday to Friday, 6-7am to 4.30pm with some public holiday work when needed.

What We're Looking For:

  • Proven physical fitness and experience in a manual job (e.g. landscaping, farming, cleaning)
  • A positive, can-do attitude and team player mindset
  • Mechanical aptitude - confident using tools and machinery
  • A genuine interest in learning and developing new skills
  • Full training will be given so if you are passionate about a career in floriculture, please apply.


Must already living in and be legally entitled to work in New Zealand - NZ / Aust Citizenship or NZ Permanent Residency. Overseas candidates will not be considered. This role is not suitable for visa sponsorship.

Applications will be processed as received.
If you have a green thumb and enjoy hands-on physical work, we want to hear from you!

Apply online now with your CV and a cover letter detailing your green thumb / plant 🌿 experience or interest.
