Looking for a role where you can stay active, work with a great team, and keep stock moving across one of the biggest distribution centres in Aotearoa? If you're reliable, detail-focused, and ready to roll up your sleeves -this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

The Warehouse Group (TWG) is the home of iconic Kiwi retail brands like The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery, and Noel Leeming. Our Distribution Centre (DC) is the hub that keeps our stores stocked and our customers happy. During peak season, this mission ramps up, and we’re expanding our racking crew to meet the demand.

As a Despatch Team Member, you’ll be part of a fast-paced, high-energy team responsible for processing and preparing outgoing stock for delivery to stores across Aotearoa.

This role offers a lot of variety and requires a strong focus on accuracy, speed, and adaptability. You’ll be on your feet, moving stock, solving problems, and keeping things flowing from the DC to our customers.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Stacking and prepping pallets (items ranging from 1kg to 30kg)
  • Sorting stock by barcode and store
  • Picking off our fast paced conveyer belts.
  • Using RF scanners to track inventory movement
  • Prime moving and pallet wrapping
  • Closing, labelling, and preparing stock for despatch
  • Operating pallet jacks, box cutters, and strapping machines
  • Bulk picking and stock consolidation
  • Responding to last-minute changes and supporting the team where needed

This is a fixed term position until mid January 2027.

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).

  • Have a keen eye for detail and care about getting things right
  • Communicate clearly and work well in a team
  • Can work independently and stay focused on the task

The Warehouse Group

About The Warehouse Group

The Warehouse Group (TWG) is a New Zealand success story, founded by Sir Stephen Tindall and evolved from a single The Warehouse store to become one of the largest retailing groups in New Zealand with $3 billion in sales. TWG consists of three core retail brands: The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery, and Noel Leeming. We have over 180 retail stores, online stores as well as distribution centres throughout New Zealand. We also have two overseas sourcing offices located in China and India. We are a people-centred business with more than 10,000 team employees across our locations.

TWG is known for being Here for Good - it’s who we are and what keeps us focused to succeed. It represents our commitment to better living for all New Zealanders, through sustainable retail products and practices and the mission of contributing to the long-lasting health of our planet.

Over the years, we’ve raised over 50 million dollars for New Zealand communities and have contributed to countless community-focussed initiatives. We were the first company in New Zealand to add a Shielded Site link to the Women's Refuge website to help protect those experiencing family violence, and were a key supporter of the Government’s Family Violence Victims’ Protection Bill. We were New Zealand’s first large company and the third major retailer in the world to go carbon neutral.

While we are 40+ years old as a business, in many ways we feel we’re just getting started.
