The Company
Fruition provides the most advanced vineyard-monitoring tools in the industry. Our system and protocols are designed to help winemakers link their fruit maturation with vineyard practices, in order to grow the best fruit quality. Because fruit maturation is strongly dependent on climate, irrigation, canopy, soil, nutrients, and more, we offer an expertise to collect and connect all your vineyard data and support visual observations.
The Person
This internship is for someone who….
- Wants to learn a lot in a short amount of time
- Adapts to changing situations with enthusiasm and an open mind
- Communicates well (via text, email, phone, and every other way)
- Appreciates a good sense of humor
- Likes a challenge
- Is intrigued by a rarely predictable, often surprising “typical workday.”
The Job
The goal of your internship will be to assist us in providing vine water use measurements to monitor vine water status according to climatic pressure. Your internship will begin with a training period to familiarize you with the technology, the sampling protocols, and the clients. After training, you will work independently in different vineyards scattered across the Napa area. Your responsibilities will include but not be limited to:
- Vineyard data collection including: Dualex and Multiplex measurements, fruit samples, yield estimates, etc.
You will be in direct contact with Fruition team members and be expected to communicate your work well to the team as needed. Each day will be spent visiting different ranches and performing various tasks.
This is a challenging internship that is both mentally and physically demanding. This is a vineyard internship, so you will be outside; rain or shine. Because what we do is so unique, you will need to learn a lot of information in a short period of time and follow specific instructions very carefully with little supervision. Expectations for this internship are extremely high.
