Vintage Field Officer

Join Vinarchy at Berri Estates for Vintage 2027 and be part of the fast‑paced, high‑energy operations that drive the largest grape‑processing winery in the Southern Hemisphere.  

Vintage at Berri is big, busy and incredibly rewarding - and we’re looking for motivated, organised and reliable individuals to join the team as Vintage Field Officers 

This role sits at the frontline of fruit quality assessment, grower engagement, and intake logistics - an essential link between our grower network and winery operations during the busiest time of year. 

If you enjoy hands‑on outdoor work, early starts, and being part of a fast‑paced harvest environment, this is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to one of Australia’s largest wine operations. 

These positions are based in Berri, South Australia   

Vintage Field Officers travel across designated growing regions each day, assessing fruit quality, collecting samples, and supporting smooth communication between growers and winery teams. You’ll be provided with a site vehicle, daily region lists, and clear direction from the Grower Liaison Officer. 

This role requires confidence working independently, strong communication skills, and the ability to stay organised under tight seasonal deadlines. 

The role of Vintage Field Officer is typically worked across a standard five‑day week with additional hours available during peak harvest. Shifts run approximately 6:00am to 2:30pm, with early starts to manage heat and support daily intake planning.  

Core Technical Skills 

• Experience in fruit sampling and basic maturity testing. 

• Ability to identify common vineyard pests and diseases. 

• Strong grower‑facing communication and relationship‑building skills. 

• Confidence with data entry and fast, accurate record‑keeping. 

• Understanding of winery, biosecurity, and safety standards. 

Interpersonal & Operational Skills 

• Clear, calm communication under pressure. 

• Strong problem‑solving skills, especially when dealing with delivery delays or grower queries. 

• Excellent time management and organisational ability. 

• Resilience and comfort working outdoors in hot weather with early starts. 

Recruitment begins late August with the work to begin early in 2027. If you’re reliable, motivated and ready to be part of a high‑performing team during the most exciting period of the winemaking year, we encourage you to apply promptly.
