Hire a Crew

Labour solutions, built for growers.

Maan Contracting is a Victorian farm labour hire company solving the hardest part of horticulture: having the right hands, in the right block, at the right time.

Who we are

We know what a short crop window feels like.

A long block, ripening fruit, and never quite enough hands — every grower knows the arithmetic. Maan Contracting was built to change it.

We recruit, train and supervise our own crews, move them with the season across Victoria's growing regions, and stand behind every hour worked: award rates, superannuation and proper records, with one person accountable to you from first row to last bin.

“
Good crews aren't found the week before harvest. They're built, kept, and moved with the season.

Maan Contracting — Victoria, Australia

The Maan standard

What growers can hold us to.

Supervised, always

A working crew leader on every job, responsible for pace, quality and safety — not a phone number in another town.

Compliant by design

Award-rate pay, superannuation and proper records for every worker — protecting our people and the growers who host them.

Scales with the crop

Five hands for a thinning pass or a full harvest crew at peak — the team flexes as your fruit comes on.

On time, together

Crews travel in their own transport and arrive as one — with tools, ready to start when the dew lifts.

Our people

Good work attracts good workers.

Reliable crews don't happen by accident. We keep ours by treating farm work as the skilled job it is.

How we treat our crews

Because retention beats recruitment
  • Award rates, superannuation and payslips — every worker, every week
  • Steady work through the season, moving from crop to crop
  • Transport organised with the crew for those who don't drive
  • Training on the job — supervisors show new workers the standard

What that means for growers

Experienced hands come back
  • Lower turnover means crews that already know the work
  • A workforce that turns up — because the job is worth turning up for
  • No compliance surprises on your farm
  • The same familiar faces season after season

Where we work

Across Victoria's growing country.

Based near Melbourne, our crews travel to orchards, vineyards and vegetable farms throughout the state — and stay for the length of the job.
