Post Haste Taupo, New Zealand TIMG Full time NZ$42,000 - NZ$75,000 per year

Casual Freight Handler - Taupo

As part of the Freightways Group of companies, Post Haste is one of the leading courier service providers in NZ. Our core values are all around customer responsiveness, accessibility, accountability and transparency, ensuring we work openly and honestly with our customers, to create long lasting and mutually beneficial relationships. If you're keen to make a difference and join a dynamic business that focuses on its people and getting the job done, then we want you.

Our Freight Handlers are responsible for deconsolidating freight from around New Zealand for our Courier Fleet while meeting strict deadlines and ensuring that all freight connections are met. This is a physically demanding role in a fast-paced environment.

We're looking for a Casual Freight Handler to be available on an 'as & when needed' basis (on-call). This may be short notice one off shifts to cover sick leave, or irregular shifts to cover holiday leave for our small team of Permanent staff. We'd prefer a long-term commitment, as we always put on an extra as support over busy periods (i.e. lead up to Christmas). Our shifts run Tue-Sat 01:00-05:30am.

Ideally this will suit someone looking to supplement their income with other employment or study outside these hours.

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Strong work ethic
  • Punctuality
  • Good personal presentation and communication
  • Physically fit – (able to lift up to 25kgs). The role requires repetitive, heavy lifting and working on your feet for the shift
  • The ability to work well within a team environment
  • Forklift license is preferred, however not essential

A full induction to our business will be provided, along with ongoing training and support.

All applicants will be required to provide proof of their eligibility to work in New Zealand and undertake pre-employment checks. The process we follow is:


  2. Interview with the depot supervisor at the depot to see what the work involves
  3. Complete our Employment Application Forms either when you come in, or via email with photo ID (front & back of license)
  4. Screening – we use an external party who run a Reference check with your previous employers, a Criminal History Report
  5. If successful, you'll then complete Drug & Alcohol Screening

The Post Haste Group is a fantastic place to work, and we look forward to meeting with our potential new applicants.

If you think you are up for the challenge, and think you have what it takes to join our team, please apply today.
