Production Coordination Support: When capacity allows, assist the production planners and coordinators with daily tasks, including checking the status of open work orders and issuing items to production.
Material Handling: Load and unload transport vehicles, execute material movements upon arrival at the facility, and ensure items are delivered directly to the correct shopfloor departments or kanban circuits.
Problem Solving & Communication: Actively monitor for potential delays while out on the road or on the shopfloor, communicate ETAs to the production team, and help clear material blockers.
Teamwork: Work collaboratively in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment to ensure the timely delivery of materials for the vehicle integration timeline.
Key Requirements
Valid Full New Zealand Driver’s License is mandatory.
