Vineyard Manager / Viticulturist (Wine Jobs: Vineyards & Cellars )

Full Time

  Benjamin Bridge (http://www.benjaminbridge.com)

  Gaspereau, Nova Scotia

An immediate opening exists for an experienced viticulturist/vineyard manager to oversee our 39+ acre vineyard located in the heart of the picturesque Gaspereau Valley, Nova Scotia. For 20 years, we’ve specialized in crafting the highest quality sparkling wines thanks to our unique maritime terroir near the Bay of Fundy. Our prolonged growing season permits an extended ripening process that enables the grapes to achieve full phenological maturity, critical to the texture and complexity of these sparkling wines.


Benjamin Bridge seeks a candidate with 7-10 years’ practice in cool-climate vineyard management, ideally with organics and biodiversity experience, and a passion for regenerative agriculture.  You will be responsible for an annual vineyard operation plan, vineyard record keeping, hiring your workforce, frost protection management, budgeting and capital asset requests. You will also provide guidance to Benjamin Bridge’s grape growers located in the Annapolis Valley. You will be part of our passionate and dynamic senior management team. 


Requirements:

  • Formal education and training in viticulture

  • Experience in the operation and maintenance of farm equipment

  • Demonstrated ability to lead a team, including excellent communication skills – verbal and written


Benjamin Bridge offers a competitive compensation and benefits package based on experience and knowledge. Canadian citizenship, permanent residency, work permit or other Canadian immigration status is required allowing the candidate to be employed in the position. A relocation budget will be provided. 

 

Benjamin Bridge strives to nurture not only healthy soils but healthy lives in a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming workplace.  Our winery runs on the hard work and dedication of our passionate team, and we value diversity in the people we hire, the people we work with, and the people we serve. Benjamin Bridge is an equal opportunity employer with a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination in our workplace.
