Job Description

🚜 Ready to lift your career to new heights? We’ve got the role for you! 🚜
We’re on the hunt for a Forklift Operator & Warehouser to join a hardworking team in Matamata — just a cruisy 35-minute drive from Tauranga. Leave the hustle of the city behind and enjoy reliable hours, a friendly crew, and a role with long-term security in a stable, essential industry.
💼 The Role: You’ll be working in a chemical-producing warehouse, handling inwards and outwards goods, operating forklifts (including high reach), and keeping logistics running smoothly. There’s a mix of machine and manual work, so you’ll need to be comfortable both behind the wheel and on your feet.
📅 Shift:
  • Monday to Friday
  • 6:00 AM – 4:30 PM (50 hours/week)
  • $28 per hour + weekly pay
📍 Location Perks:
  • Matamata-based: Easy commute from Tauranga with less stress and more scenery
  • Great for someone ready to swap traffic jams for rolling hills
✅ What You’ll Need:
  • Valid OSH and F endorsement forklift licences
  • High reach forklift experience
  • Ability to confidently operate forklifts and log hours/data accurately
  • Physically fit to help out with manual handling where needed
  • A strong work ethic and reliability
  • Commitment to a long-term role – not suitable for travellers or short-termers
💪 Why You’ll Love It Here:
  • Supportive, tight-knit team
  • Reliable full-time hours – no scrambling for shifts
  • Weekly pay to keep things flowing
  • A role where you’re valued and part of the bigger picture
If you’re ready to lock in a solid, long-term career and enjoy the peace of a short scenic drive home, this could be your next great move.
Apply now and let’s get you lifting in the right direction! 🏗️
