Enrich Your Everyday

Vinarchy was created in 2025 through the merger of Accolade Wines and Pernod Ricard Winemakers — forming a bold, innovative wine business producing across Australia, New Zealand, Europe, South Africa, Chile and the US. With iconic brands like Jacob’s Creek, Hardys and Campo Viejo, plus future‑focused disruptors like Greasy Fingers, J‑Harden and Dolly Wines, we’re redefining the wine category.

We’re now seeking a Laboratory Technician to support our busy, high‑performing lab team.

If you love hands‑on science, thrive in fast‑paced environments and want to be part of a company pushing boundaries, this role is for you.

Role Details

Your days will be a mix of hands‑on analysis, problem‑solving and teamwork. You’ll move between sampling wine, juice, spirits and RTDs, running routine analysis, and keeping the lab humming during peak periods. You’ll contribute to the maintenance and upkeep of a fast paced and well organised workspace, support colleagues across the lab and wider business, and jump in wherever needed to keep things flowing.

This role will involve performing many different types of laboratory analysis, from classical wet techniques to microbiological plating and reading through to operation of high-end scientific equipment. You’ll collect samples from across the winery and upload accurate results into laboratory software platforms.

When something looks off, you’ll flag it quickly to the Lab Team Leader. You’ll also keep an eye on consumables, ensuring the lab is always stocked and ready for action.
