At Air New Zealand, we connect friends and whānau across Aotearoa and the world. As part of our whānau, you’ll thrive in a dynamic environment focused on teamwork, safety, and delivering experiences that make every journey special.

What we’re looking for

  • You must be entitled to live and work permanently in New Zealand at the time of applying (NZ/AU Citizen or NZ Permanent Resident)
  • A Full or Restricted New Zealand Drivers Licence
  • Experience working in a physically demanding role, ideally within a safety-focused environment
  • A strong work ethic and motivation to deliver the best outcome for customers and colleagues
  • Resilience, adaptability, and the ability to manage changing priorities and deadlines

Shift Work Roster

These part-time roles involve working between 36 and 72 hours per fortnight on a rotating shift roster. Shifts may include early mornings, evenings, weekends, and public holidays depending on operational requirements and flight schedules. Flexibility across different shift times and days is essential.

If this sounds like you, please apply online via our careers website with your CV and cover letter. Please note that we are unable to accept applications by email.

Applications close Thursday 22 October.
