About You
- You’ve got a can-do attitude and a strong sense of humor (because let’s face it, the work gets a lot more fun when you can laugh!)
- Keen attention to detail – because who wants to miss a thing when fruit is involved?
- Team player who thrives on working together to get the job done
- Comfortable with computers and data entry (don't worry, we’ll help you if you’re not a tech whiz)
- If you’ve got experience with fruit maturity testing, great! If not, bring your enthusiasm to learn, and we’ll take care of the rest!
Why Apply?
In return, you’ll enjoy:
- A welcoming, supportive team environment
