Reliance Recruitment – Christchurch City, South Island

Looking for a forklift role where you're more than just a driver?

We're recruiting on behalf of our client for an experienced Forklift Operator to join their small, warehouse team. This is a hands-on position where you'll play an important role in keeping the warehouse running smoothly while working with large infrastructure products. If you enjoy variety, like being part of a close-knit team, and aren't afraid to roll up your sleeves, we'd love to hear from you.

What's on Offer?

• Monday to Friday – enjoy your weekends
• Flexible start time of 7:30am or 8:00am
• Modern, well-equipped warehouse
• Friendly team where everyone pitches in
• Variety in your day – no standing around doing the same thing
• Opportunities to grow within a successful group of companies

What You'll Be Doing

This isn't a role where you'll spend all day sitting on a forklift. You'll be involved in all areas of the warehouse, including:

• Loading and unloading containers
• Operating a forklift to move large and bulky infrastructure products
• Picking and packing customer orders
• Wrapping, strapping and preparing freight for dispatch
• Basic computer data entry
• General warehouse duties to support the team

What We're Looking For

You’ll ideally have:

• A current OSH Certificate and F Endorsement (or an OSH Certificate with a full driver's licence and the ability to obtain your F Endorsement)
• Recent forklift operating experience
• Confidence handling oversized or awkward loads safely
• Good physical fitness, as manual lifting is part of the role
• Basic computer skills

Why Apply?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business where you'll be valued as part of the team, not just another forklift operator.
