Transport despatch assistant

Annual holidays provided through the employment arrangement. The hiring business is responsible for the employment agreement, pay and leave.

We're looking for two despatch coordinators who can keep trucks moving on time from our Avondale site. The team is small and experienced, and you'll have real ownership of the outbound process. This is an afternoon shift role, 1pm to 9.30pm, Monday to Friday. Guaranteed 40 hours a week, with overtime available. Pay is $31.00 an hour. Annual leave and public holidays apply. Prior transport or warehouse coordination experience is essential; a forklift licence is a bonus. Experience counts for more than qualifications here. The right to work in New Zealand is essential; we can check this with you quickly. Flexible rostering wherever we can manage it. Paid training and a proper induction before you start. Apply now; we reply to every application.
