Seasonal Work Jobs

Seasonal work is a great way to gain experience and meet new people, while also earning money and maintaining a flexible schedule. Sectors involved range from horticulture to hospitality, and seasonal work remains a popular choice for people travelling to New Zealand for working holidays.

 

However, it’s also a suitable industry to dive into when rejoining the workforce or when looking for flexible hours and a physical work environment. Roles vary according to region - from wine-growing in the Wairarapa to stone-fruit picking in the Hawke’s Bay - so there are plenty of options available to suit. Demand is consistently high across regions for seasonal workers so potential workers shouldn’t experience too much difficulty securing a position.

 

There are opportunities to move on to developing your chosen path in areas such as management, quality control or administration. There is also scope for expanding your industry know-how and skills through tertiary study in New Zealand. With the correct training and experience, permanent work is certainly an option for those who would wish to pursue it.
