Circa $100,000 including some weekend hours

Air Chathams is proudly New Zealand owned and we have been operating since 1984. Our aircraft fleet and geographical reach have grown steadily and today we are New Zealand’s largest privately owned airline.

We operate scheduled passenger flights from Monday to Friday plus freight flights as required by our clients, including weekends.

We’re looking for a manager with experience in airport, ramp or cargo operations. We’d also welcome applications from transport and logistics professionals with strong transferable skills.

About the Role

As Port Manager, you will be well supported by our Auckland team but ultimately responsible for all Air Chathams operations at Wellington Airport. You will be managing a small team to ensure everything runs smoothly and on time, and this will include forklift and cargo handling when needed.

This is a hands-on operational role as well as a management position. You’ll work alongside the team on the ramp, including loading and unloading aircraft and handling cargo.

You’ll also help grow our cargo business by providing excellent customer service, strengthening customer relationships and identifying new freight opportunities to and from the Chatham Islands.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Operational management of the Wellington port and staff management
• Oversee handling and storage of in and outbound cargo for our clients
• Maintain strong relationships and communication with clients and suppliers
• Act as Air Chathams’ point of contact for all Airport operational matters
• Manage quality, service delivery standards and resolve issues promptly
• Manage health & safety and quality assurance systems
• Operate a forklift and assist with cargo handling when needed

The normal working week is Monday to Friday. Weekend work is also required to support additional ad-hoc cargo flights. This will be more frequent during the summer peak season and less frequent during the off-peak season.

About You

An understanding of port operations from another airport environment is preferred for this role. We also welcome applications from freight or logistics professionals with good experience in people management and warehouse operations.

An OSH certificate and forklift experience will be very useful and knowledge / certification in Dangerous Good Regulations will be an advantage.

The salary for this role is circa $100,000 per annum, plus employer KiwiSaver contributions. Air Chathams will also support relevant certifications and ongoing training.
