Roles and Responsibilities
- One of the primary responsibilities of the worker is harvesting the fruit trees and vines. This is a seasonal employment during the harvest season, therefore, most of the work will include harvesting.

- The produce must be checked for quality and those that get approved after inspection are to be loaded onto transportation vehicles and sent off to the market for sale.
- The worker will have to pack the produce accurately into crates.
- The worker might also have to operate machinery on the farm for harvesting purposes.
- Identifying the trees that have ripened fruits will be a core responsibility of the job.
- Watering the trees is also the responsibility of the worker.
- Since the work is fast-paced, the worker should work with dexterity to assure that the produce is shipped before it gets over ripe which will reduce the price of the produce.

Produce shipment forms will also have to be read and filled in English.
- Since the job required the worker to do manual work along with long hours of standing, bending, kneeling, and crouching, the work is quite physically demanding.
