  • Full training provided
  • Based on a rural farm location near Dunsandel and Rolleston – stunning views of the Southern Alps and farmland!

This is a great opportunity to join a close-knit team contributing to the start of the composting process for Meadow Mushrooms. Our compost is produced locally and plays a vital role in growing our high-quality mushrooms.

  • Process driven and systems focused.
  • Ensure the laboratory is kept clean, tidy, and well‑organised at all times.
  • Order laboratory supplies as required to ensure uninterrupted operations.
  • About You

  • Proven ability to work autonomously with a strong sense of diligence and accountability.
  • Experience in roles requiring a structured approach, high accuracy, and strong attention to detail.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
  • Must have reliable own transport, as there is no public transport available to the plant.
  • Must have New Zealand residency or a valid New Zealand work Visa and currently be residing in New Zealand.
