Seasonal Machinery Operators

From November each year through to end of March we have a requirement for a number of seasonal staff. To be a successful applicant in this role you would be an experienced machinery operator having evidence of previous experience in ground preparation, planting, harvesting and some spraying.

Also required are a number of staff who may have less experience driving the larger machinery and technical farming ability but can carry out more general machinery operating roles and general farm work. Previous experience is necessary.

We begin recruiting for these roles in May and conclude recruitment for these roles in October.

If you think that you may be interested in working in New Zealand over the summer periods – generally from November through to March, then send your cv and the time you are planning to travel to jobs@aswilcox.co.nz and we will be back in touch with you.

For any of our seasonal workers, you must be able to provide proof of your eligibility to work in New Zealand even if you are currently living in New Zealand.

For applicants coming from overseas, you will need to have a working holiday visa approved before you travel to New Zealand – www.immigration.govt.nz for more information and how to apply for your visa.

You will also need to apply for a NZ IRD number – www.ird.govt.nz for information on what is required and a New Zealand bank account number.

All new employees at Wilcox will be required to undergo a pre employment drug screen prior to an offer of employment being confirmed. This will be discussed with you at the time of interview. Our sites are drug and alcohol free and we conduct drug testing in a number of situations including random testing. A copy of our Drug & Alcohol Policy is available for any staff member to access.
