We are looking for a Yard Manager to take over the day-to-day operations of our timber yard. This is a hands-on role working in a fast-paced environment.

Liaising with the manufacturing team.
Loading and unloading trucks.
Making up customer orders.
Yard organisation & managing stock levels.
Full training will be provided, but applicants with any of the following skills and experience will be preferred:
Experienced in loading and unloading timber.
Pick and packing orders.
Proven record in a safety-conscious environment.
The essentials are:
Great work ethic.
Good organisational skills, with the ability to think ahead and offer innovative solutions.
Physically fit, able to cope with heavy lifting and enjoy working outdoors.
A good comprehension of English, both written and verbal.
We are based near the Waimak Bridge, Kainga, and the hours are Monday to Friday 7.30 – 4pm. Saturday work is available.
This role has an immediate start, but an allowance would be made for the right candidate to work out a notice period if required.
Applicants must have a NZ residency or a valid NZ work visa.
