Camp Cooks x 3

We currently have 26 permanent employees and expect this number to increase to 90+ for the Forest Establishment (planting) season. A large percentage of these people will be new arrivals from Pacific Islands. So much of the cooking will need to cater to Pacifica tastes.

This Company is committed to promoting the personal wellbeing of all its employees. Our employees need to work hard so in order to maximise productivity and remain healthy a good diet is essential.

While our office is in Gisborne, we have crews operating in rural areas throughout the lower North and South Islands. Camp cooks must be available to relocate to different locations as needed.

These are permanent, full time, largely self managed positions.

Hours involve early starts and late finishes with time off during the day, 8 hours on average, 5-6 days per week.
