Hill Laboratories

Field Team Leader

October 6, 2024

Do you enjoy working outdoors? Do you thrive on the challenge of cultivating and managing a small team whilst meeting deadlines?

We have an exciting opportunity to join us as a Field Team Leader. The role is Dec – May, and between Feb - May the team operates 7 days a week. The role is fast-paced and physical but most importantly, the successful candidate will be a people leader. The teams will collect kiwifruit samples from the Bay of Plenty and beyond to be tested in our Mount Maunganui lab as a key component of Zespri’s assurance programme.

The role

The Field Team Leader will manage all aspects of field operations. This will include recruiting, training and organising their own team, while also scheduling and coordinating daily operations ensuring that daily collection targets are achieved. This role is not a desk job, and candidates will spend much of their time (~75%) out in the orchards. Whilst working in the field, Team Leaders will be collecting samples with members of their team as part of their training programme and as a quality check to ensure that everyone is meeting health and safety standards.
