We're looking for a motivated, hands-on mechanic to be boots on the ground at our Pukekohe Farm. Our workshop is the perfect place to grow your career as a Mechanic, learning the intricacies of keeping our tractors, harvesters, and other vital equipment running smoothly.
About The Role
Our Engineering workshop is conveniently based on Great South Road in Bombay, with a close proximity to our farms and home base.
