The Farm Graduate is a hands-on, high-energy role designed to give recent graduates real exposure to the full workings of a soft fruit farm. You’ll rotate through core areas of farm operations — including harvest management, crop walking, labour planning, and farm systems — supporting managers while building your leadership, technical, and practical skills. This is a fast-paced, physically active, and people-oriented role suited to individuals who thrive outdoors, love problem-solving, and want to make a meaningful impact from day one. The role requires collaboration with other departments and a proactive approach to maintaining high standards in product handling and team performance.
