Vintage Loader & Forklift Operator - 15 Valley

About Us

Founded in 2003, Indevin is New Zealand's leading producer of high-quality wine. Our grapes come from over 6,000 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

The Role

Vintage 2025 is fast approaching and we're getting ready!

As we gear up for Vintage 2025, we're on the hunt for Forklift Drivers to build our Vintage team, to get all the grapes in and processed into wine so we can get it out the door to NZ and international shelves.

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), good money, learn new skills and make incredible memories. That's just a taste of what you can look forward to as part of our vintage crew.

Support the Production team, helping to ensure that vintage is a success - 

• Perform forklift related duties, as required (and under the direction and supervision of) the Vintage Cellar Supervisor(s)
• Movement of dry goods, barrels, fruit bins
• Load grape marc from pit to truck

Typically, our vintages run from late-February to mid-April. Because of the nature of our business, our vintage dates might change slightly, but we will always keep you up-to-date with the latest information as we get it.
