Mission Hill Family Estate Winery is recruiting passionate and flexible, short term team players to assist with seasonal work including packaging, cellar work, cleaning, general labour and grape processing during our harvest season. Shifts will vary between days, afternoons and some graveyards from approximately August 29, 2016 to late November, 2016.
As an ideal candidate, you are committed to working in a safe and professional manner at all times. You bring a strong work ethic and have experience working in wineries, production or warehousing. Through your work experience you have developed the ability to think on your feet and have a personal commitment to working with a consistently positive attitude in a team environment. Post-secondary education in Winemaking, Viticulture and/or Operations is a strong asset. Production and safety-specific certifications such as Fork lift Operator’s Certificate and/or Level 3 Industrial First Aid are also considered valuable assets when applying for this position.
You are physically fit and able to meet the physical requirements of the position including bending, reaching, standing for long periods of time, navigating stairs and lifting up to 22.7 KG (50 pounds) on a regular basis. Working conditions vary, but you must be comfortable working in the general plant, warehouse, outdoor receiving areas and damp cellar conditions.
This seasonal casual position requires that you have a flexible schedule and shifts are “on-call” until late November 2016 or as required. Hours will start out part time in August and quickly move to full time for the remainder of the harvest.
