Kiwi Jobs NZ

Kiwi fruit picking jobs come with a host of benefits that make these roles very appealing, whether you’re here in Aotearoa New Zealand from overseas, are a full-time fruit picker or just looking for a short-term job.

First and foremost, kiwi jobs offer a dependable source of income, characterised by regular work hours and a consistent pay. Furthermore, these roles often included shared accommodation as part of the employment package. This provision can substantially mitigate living expenses, effectively increasing disposable income.

You’ll also have substantial flexibility, given that kiwi jobs are limited by the growing season. This means you can work a season picking kiwi fruit and then move onto other opportunities, or move around Aotearoa New Zealand picking other fruits and vegetables as they come into season. If you develop a good relationship with the farmer or company operator, you know that these jobs will be available again the next year if you want to come back for more.

Kiwi jobs also come with pretty awesome offices – Aotearoa New Zealand’s epic countryside. The gorgeous Bay of Plenty, in particular, is the heartland for kiwi fruit jobs, and there’s a lot to love about spending some time in this particular corner of the country. You’ll also have the added benefit of getting your daily workout in as you pick the fruit – win-win!

If you’re a backpacker looking for fruit-picking work to earn some money so that you can keep enjoying Aoteraoa New Zealand, kiwi jobs are a great option. Due to the aforementioned shared accommodation, these positions are usually highly sociable, attracting folks from all walks of life and all parts of the globe, as well as a good number of New Zealanders as well. This means that working kiwi jobs can be a great way to meet your next travel buddy, while also contributing to one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most important industries.
