This position offers weekday shifts of approximately 10 hours per week, typically from 9:00am to 2:00pm.

Therefore, it seeks team members who bring energy, reliability, and attention to detail to the warehouse environment.

Basic computer literacy is required, particularly the ability to learn and use simple inventory systems. In addition, applicants must have legal work rights in New Zealand, whether through citizenship, residency, or a valid work visa that permits this type of employment.
