Administration Support

Fixed-Term Administration Support – Otautau

Blueberry Country is looking for an organised, practical and reliable Administration Support person to join our Otautau team for the upcoming blueberry season.

This is a hands-on administration role supporting our orchard, packhouse and Pick Your Own operations during our busiest time of year. No two days are necessarily going to look the same – you could be helping with seasonal employee paperwork one minute, sorting records or coordinating paperwork the next.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys keeping things organised, communicates well and is comfortable working in a fast-moving operational environment.

What you’ll be doing

Your responsibilities will include a range of seasonal administration and operational support, including:

• Assisting with seasonal employee administration, documentation and contracts
• Supporting rosters, staffing and general administration for our Pick Your Own shop
• Maintaining and organising picker-card records and allocating picker numbers
• Preparing and managing trucking and collection paperwork
• Liaising with transport providers regarding daily collections
• Checking that employee training records and documentation are complete and up to date
• Assisting with consumable ordering and general site administration
• Supporting the wider Otautau team with other administrative tasks as required

About you

You don’t necessarily need to come from the horticulture industry. What matters most is that you’re someone who:

• Is highly organised and pays attention to the details
• Is confident using computers and everyday administration systems
• Can manage several priorities without losing track of what needs to be done
• Communicates clearly and professionally
• Is comfortable dealing with employees, managers and external providers
• Can work independently and use initiative
• Is flexible and willing to help wherever needed during a busy season
• Understands the importance of accurate records and confidentiality

Previous administration, payroll, HR, logistics or seasonal workforce experience would be an advantage, but isn’t essential for the right person.

This is a fixed-term position based at our Otautau site.

If you’re organised, dependable and enjoy being the person who helps keep everything on track, we’d love to hear from you.
