• PM shift: 2:30pm – 11:00pm, plus afternoon shift allowance
• Full PPE, uniform and safety boots provided
• Full training and the chance to build real, transferable skills
• Onsite parking
• A tight‑knit crew that backs each other
• Staff discounts across a range of products and services
• Stable, secure work with a well‑established NZ company

What we need from you

• Manufacturing or machine operating experience – glass experience is a big advantage
• A strong work ethic – you turn up, get stuck in and pull your weight
• Good mechanical aptitude and problem‑solving skills
• A genuine commitment to Health & Safety
• Physically fit and comfortable working in a busy production environment
• Reliable, organised and switched on
• Willing to learn, take direction and back yourself to improve
