Maintenance Fitter

About Grove Fruit Juice

Grove Fruit Juice is one of the largest Australian family-owned fresh fruit processors in Australia. We are Australian farming families crafting premium juice straight from our groves. Our brands include Grove Juice, Boost Juice, and Only Juice, as well as an extensive private label portfolio.

We are a vertically integrated manufacturing business which includes large-scale farm production, high-volume raw juice extraction and world class automated bottling systems. We take care of the entire juice making process – we plant, grow, harvest, select and squeeze it ourselves, preserving what’s good for our customers. We’re more than a juice company. We’re a values-based business with a broad purpose to inspire real change and have an overall beneficial impact on our community. As we grow, our contribution to society grows, providing lasting value to our community that’s well beyond our operations. We want to leave our people, our families, our community, and our land in a better place, as a result of our success.

Our philosophy is simple; we want to do right by our product, our people, our community and our land.
