Vineyard Supervisor / Senior Operator

Tomich Wines, a fourth-generation family wine business in the Adelaide Hills, is seeking a Vineyard Supervisor/Senior Operator to lead day-to-day operations across our estate vineyards.

We farm 83 hectares of cool-climate vineyard across two sites: The Valley Vineyard at Woodside (63 ha) and The Crest Vineyard at Balhannah (20 ha). Since the 2019 bushfires we have replanted and rebuilt, and we're now growing again with a new Adelaide Hills cellar door opening in 2027.

This is a hands-on senior role for someone who wants to take ownership of the vineyard, work closely with the family and winemaking team, and grow with the business.

Key Responsibilities:

• Supervise and carry out all vineyard operations across both sites
• Lead, roster and train the vineyard team, including seasonal and casual crews
• Plan daily and weekly work with the family and winemaking team
• Operate and maintain vineyard machinery, including tractors, sprayers, mulchers and harvest equipment
• Run spray, nutrition and pest and disease programs in line with best practice, with accurate records
• Oversee pruning, canopy management, irrigation and crop estimates
• Coordinate harvest logistics and fruit delivery with the winery
• Help improve fruit quality and yields while managing costs
• Assist with replanting, development and infrastructure projects
• Maintain a safe, compliant and efficient workplace
