About the role

A busy distribution centre in Puhinui needs four experienced forklift operators for its early starts. A good share of the day is container work: unloading, checking and putting away. The roster is 5.30am to 2pm, Monday to Saturday. Guaranteed 48 hours a week, with overtime available. Pay is $29.00 to $31.50 an hour depending on experience. A current forklift licence is essential; counterbalance and reach experience are both wanted. You must hold a forklift licence (F endorsement). The right to work in New Zealand is essential; we can check this with you quickly. Clear path to permanent hours for the right person. Staff discounts and a friendly crew. Interviews are being held this week, so don't wait to apply.
