This isn’t a one-site, full-time role — you could be working across different temporary assignments with a variety of our clients. If you like a bit of variety and flexibility in your work, this could be right up your alley.
Most of the work is in busy timber and warehouse environments, so you’ll need to be confident handling larger forklifts, working in tighter spaces, and stacking wide or oversized products up high.
What you’ll be doing
- Operating forklifts safely for loading, unloading and moving stock
- Stacking wide and oversized products at height
- Picking up and placing stock accurately in racking
- Doing basic daily checks on your machine
- Helping out with general warehouse tasks when needed
- Following health and safety rules on every site
What we’re looking for
- Current OSH and F endorsement
- Solid experience stacking wide or oversized loads at height
- Good awareness of health and safety in warehouse environments
- Strong attention to detail and spatial awareness
- Someone who can slot into different teams and hit the ground running
- Reliable, on time and physically fit
What you’ll get
- Competitive hourly rates, paid weekly
- Flexibility — pick up shifts that suit you
- Work with a range of well-known local companies
- Ongoing work available for the right people
- Chance to build your experience across different sites and setups
- Support from a recruitment team that actually gets the industry
- PPE provided free of charge
- Variety — no two weeks are the same
If you’re a solid forklift operator and keen for flexible work, send us your application and we’ll be in touch.
Applicants for this position must have either NZ citizenship or a current, open, and valid NZ work permit, and currently be physically in New Zealand.
