This is far more than a typical driving job, it’s an opportunity to be hands‑on with an industry‑leading engineering team.

If you thrive under tight deadlines, take pride in your work, and want to support cutting‑edge technology, this is an excellent opportunity!

• Complete accurate vehicle logs and supporting documentation for transport and inventory tracking.
• Assist the wider logistics team with receipting, store dispatch, and general warehouse support tasks.
• Maintain a professional, high‑standard demeanor during all interactions with external suppliers and internal teams.
• Uphold strict health and safety policies, wearing required PPE and reporting near‑misses or incidents promptly.

What You'll Bring

• Current Class 2 Driver's License with confident manual shift driving ability.
• Valid NZTA Forklift Endorsement (F) or WorkSafe Site Certification.
• Strong physical fitness and agility to comfortably perform manual handling, vehicle loading, and physical warehouse tasks.
• High level of self‑motivation, decisiveness, and initiative to work productively without direct supervision.
• Clear written and oral communication skills with the ability to build positive working relationships.
• Tech proficiency and comfort using digital systems and technology for logistics tracking.
• Flexibility to handle required after‑hours demands, weekend work, and occasional overnight stays (1–2 nights) away from home.

• Valid NZTA Dangerous Goods (DG) endorsement.
• Hands‑on background in warehousing, dispatch, and inventory management systems.
• Proven track record of working effectively under pressure to meet tight operational deadlines.
