About the Jobs:

  • Unpacking and Quality Control: Workers are responsible for unpacking rose bouquets arriving in cardboard boxes from Ethiopia. At the start of the production line, they thoroughly inspect the quality of the flowers, removing damaged or substandard roses.
  • Placement on the Production Line: After the initial inspection, roses are placed on the production line. Workers ensure proper positioning of the flowers for subsequent processing stages.
  • Trimming and Wrapping: On the production line, roses are trimmed to the required length according to specifications. They are then wrapped in protective film to maintain freshness and prevent damage during transport.
  • Repackaging: After processing, rose bouquets are repackaged into new containers to ensure they are ready for further transportation or delivery.
  • Workplace Maintenance: Employees regularly clean work surfaces, tools and machinery to maintain a hygienic and safe working environment.
  • Order Preparation: Following the repackaging, workers prepare orders according to customer requirements. This includes packing flowers, labeling and preparing them for shipment.

Job offer requirements:

  • Availability to work for at least 6-12 months.
  • Motivation to work: Overtime and Saturday work may be required during busy periods. During quieter periods, willingness to work for other clients is expected.

  • Candidates who start from September onwards are expected to work during the Christmas and New Year period.
  • No contraindications to working in low temperatures.
