Vintage Kitchen Assistant

About Us

Founded in 2003, Indevin is New Zealand’s leading producer of high-quality wine. Our grapes come from over 3,000 hectares of planted vineyards and blended in our wineries across three of the great New Zealand wine regions - Marlborough, Hawke’s Bay, and Gisborne - giving us a scale and consistency of supply unmatched in New Zealand wine. 

We’re all about authenticity and transparency so rather than bombard you with corporate jargon– here’s the real Indevin:

• We’re a good ol’ Kiwi company who is proud to be a wine industry leader and we have years of hard work to thank for it.
• Our business is proudly spearheaded by the Villa Maria Brand.
• We take our work, but not ourselves, too seriously.
• We work with people from all over the world because our diversity makes us stronger.
• We’re very passionate about what we do. We love wine, sharing our knowledge and making Indevin an inspiring place to work.

Night Cook 

You will be responsible for creating a hearty, hot meal, as well as breaktime snacks, for our busy winery teams (around 30 people) each day.

You will need to be able to operate independently as you will be the only person working in the kitchen during this shift.

You will follow food safety protocols and prepare set menus with the recipes and ingredients provided.

The shift pattern is 6 days on, 1 day off and the hours will be 5.00pm – 1.00am (there is flexibility with the end time, if you finish what’s needed to be done before then)

Kitchen Assistant

Reporting to the Winery Chef, your job will be to provide support in the kitchen during the day shift, preparing meals for our busy winery staff along with cleaning and dishwashing duties in the kitchen and lunchroom.

Previous kitchen experience is preferred, but attitude, motivation and a willingness to learn are most important, and training will be provided to the right candidate. If you are someone who likes a challenge, being part of a motivated team in a fast paced high octane creative environment with a lot of humour and desire for getting the job done, this is the role for you.

You must be practical and proactive in your approach to work, physically fit and reliable with a “can do – will do” attitude.

The shift pattern is 6 days on, 1 day off and the hours will be 7.00am – 4.00pm 

All successful applicants will be required to undergo and pass a Pre-employment Drug and Alcohol test in accordance with the Indevin Drug and Alcohol Policy

For the team at the heart of this annual experience, there’s much more to be made in addition to wine.  You'll make great friends (it'll feel like family by the end) and incredible memories.  That's just a taste of what you can look forward to making when you're part of our vintage crew.
