Biomarine Ltd - Oyster Farmers/processors

25/03/2025

we've managed to make a dent in the stock but I think we can do better!! come get some meat bags at the discounted price $8 each or a poly of 10 for $70. The days are still mint but there are cold patches amongst, warm up over the next couple of months with some oysters. These bags are great for the likes of Fritters, chowders, soups, and a bunch more. At this price, experimenting is worthwhile.

New Team Members Wanted – Seasonal and Permanent Roles

We are currently looking for new staff to join our farm and factory teams. Our factory is located in the Warkworth area, and our farms are located in the Kaipara and Mahurangi Harbours.

As a member of our farming team, you will be based at either the Mahurangi or Kaipara Harbours and support the continued growth and development of our farms.
Farm work requires physical fitness and the ability to work a range of shifts that include early morning starts and weekends. Tasks include harvesting and splitting oysters, hanging out bags, maintenance, repair, and yard work.
For the right candidates, there will be opportunities for permanent work and career development, including obtaining a skippers ticket, a forklift licence, and first aid accreditation.

If you have experience opening and packing oysters or the desire to learn, we have opportunities based at our Warkworth Factory.
As an oyster opener or packer, your working days will generally be Monday to Friday, with an eight-hour shift. However, due to the nature of the industry and mother nature, a flexible approach to working hours is required.
This work also requires a degree of physical fitness and the ability to work in a cool environment. Initially, these roles will be seasonal, but there will be opportunities for permanent work as the business continues to grow and develop.

While experience is not required, the right attitude and reliability are key to success with our organisation.

We offer a great team environment, training and development, and a commitment to a safe working environment.

For more information, to apply for a position, or to submit your CV, please contact s.burgess@truesouthseafood.com

Please note that applicants should have NZ residency, or the right to work in NZ, and reliable transport.

STAFF WANTED

Do you like to spend your day out on the water? Do you want to be part of a committed team that embraces the outdoors? Then Biomarine Ltd is the place for you to be! We are currently looking for several people to join our Oyster farm operation team at the Mahurangi & Kaipara harbour. The company is constantly expanding and developing both farms, which creates several employment opportunities.

Biomarine Ltd is a well-established aquaculture business, which specializes in the nursing, growing, and processing of Pacific Oysters. Our farm Depots are located approx. 1hr North of Auckland, on both the East and West coasts. The Mahurangi farm depot is in Snells Beach, while the Kaipara farm depot is next to the Hoteo river. A reliable means of transportation is therefore necessary.

While experience is not required, having the right attitude is a must. Since the water work is tide dependent, early mornings are the norm, while weekend work is also conducted regularly. We are adamant about ensuring that our workplace is not only productive and efficient, but we are also committed to providing a positive, fun, and safe environment to work in.

The work might not be glamorous or easy, but it is both challenging and rewarding. A big part of your day will be spent on the water. The job includes, but is not limited to:

- Harvesting Oysters from our bag and stick farm

- Hanging out bags and nailing out sticks on the farms

- Maintenance, repair and development of both farms

- Yard work, which includes the maintenance and repair of all necessary equipment

In order to succeed in this job, you must be reliable, physically fit, hardworking and willing to learn new skills. If you meet these criteria, then we will invest in your future and create new opportunities for you. For the right candidate this could lead to obtaining your heavy traffic license, skipper tickets, forklift and/or first aid training.

If this sounds like a journey that you would like to be part of, then please submit your CV or any enquiries to Jake@biomarine.co.nz. Applicants for this position should have a NZ residency or the right to work in NZ.
