• Are team players and run with our pack.
• Are open to shift work in a seven-day-a-week business.
• Are able to lift up to 25kgs.

OUR STANDARDS:

• Seek 1%ers: We embrace continuous learning and strive to improve every day, no matter how small the gain.
• Act with purpose: We are intentional in our decisions and actions, always keeping the customer at the centre.
• Be collaborative: We work as one team - respectfully, openly, and with a shared commitment to success.
• Take responsibility: We own our actions and outcomes, demonstrating accountability at every level.
• Get it right: We hold ourselves to high standards by prioritising quality and accuracy in everything we do.
