About Us

WaterRower | Nohrd Australia is a leading provider of premium fitness equipment, bringing together WaterRower's iconic water-resistance technology and Nohrd’s luxury, wood-crafted design. Our range seamlessly blends functional strength gear with active wellness furniture. Based in Epping, we operate as a growing fitness wholesale business run by a close-knit, down-to-earth team.

About the Role

We are looking for a reliable, hard-working Warehouse & Dispatch Assistant to join us. This is first and foremost a warehouse role—you will spend the vast majority of your day keeping our stock organized, packing orders, and getting goods out the door.

However, because we are a small team, we all wear a few different hats. When dispatch quietens down, you will also assist our service department with basic, hands-on equipment assembly and simple troubleshooting. No prior technical qualification is needed—we will provide full training!

If you want a stable, active warehouse role where you can also use your practical, handyperson skills from time to time, this is the perfect balance.

Key Responsibilities

Warehouse & Dispatch (Primary Focus)

• Order Fulfilment: Accurately pick, pack, and prepare wholesale orders for daily courier collections and dispatch.
• Inbound Freight: Assist with receiving incoming stock, unloading shipping containers, and safely storing inventory.
• Inventory & Safety: Keep the warehouse clean, organised, and running safely.
• Manual Handling: Safely handle and move stock. As a fitness business, our items (weights, benches, machines) can be heavy, so strict adherence to safe lifting practices is a must.

Basic Servicing & Assembly (Secondary Focus)

• Equipment Assembly: Help assemble and test-run premium fitness equipment before it is delivered or installed (full training provided).
• Minor Repairs: Assist with basic troubleshooting and simple part replacements on returned equipment.
• Parts Management: Help pack and label replacement parts for customer warranty claims.

What We Are Looking For

• Warehouse Experience: Proven experience in a fast-paced warehouse environment (picking, packing, and dispatch).
• Physical Fitness & Strength: Comfort and capability handling heavy fitness equipment safely on a daily basis.
• A \"Handy\" Mindset: Comfort using basic hand tools and a practical, common-sense approach to assembling or fixing things (no professional technical background required).
• Reliable & Proactive: A team player who shows up on time, works hard, and actively looks for ways to help the team.
• Forklift Licence (LF): Highly regarded, but not essential.

What We Offer

• Stability: A secure, permanent full-time position with a growing local business.
• Great Culture: A friendly, supportive, and active team culture where everyone is treated like a person, not a number.
• Variety: Break up the usual warehouse routine with hands-on, satisfying assembly and basic technical work.
• Consistent: Reliable Monday to Friday hours.
• Convenient: Epping location with easy on-site parking.
