Looking for a hands-on role where you can really own your day and be part of something bigger? Come join The Warehouse Group (TWG) - home to some of Aotearoa’s most iconic brands including The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery, and Noel Leeming.

At our Distribution Centre (DC), one of the largest in the country we’re the engine room behind our stores.

Job Description

We’re on the lookout for motivated, reliable team players to join our Containers / Inwards Team. If you love rolling up your sleeves, tackling challenges, and working with a great bunch of people - you’ll thrive here.

This role is all about being the first touchpoint in the DC stock journey. You’ll play a key role in unloading, processing, and preparing stock for distribution. It’s fast-paced, physical, and no two days are quite the same.

Monday – Friday, 6:30am – 3:00pm

$30.28/hr

Please note: This role is to support our Peak Period through to January 2027. As it is our busiest time of the year, we are unlikely to be able to approve any extended leave across this time including around Christmas and New Years (Please note, we do not work public holidays).

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For

• Physically fit and comfortable lifting throughout the day
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy
• Good communication skills (verbal and written)
• A team mindset but confident working independently
