Your work will span a diverse portfolio of venues, including Go Media Stadium, North Harbour Stadium, Western Springs Stadium, and Auckland Zoo.

He kōrero mōu: About you

You do not need prior security experience. What matters most to us is your positive attitude, professionalism, and willingness to learn. If you’re reliable, customer-focused, and take pride in doing the right thing, we’ll provide the training and support to help you succeed.

If hired you will require:

• The right to work in New Zealand already
• Have 2 positive past references
• A full, clean, valid, NZ driver licence
• Availability to work a 4-on, 4-off rotating roster

• Pass a drug and alcohol test
• The ability to meet the physical requirements of the role, including standing and walking for extended periods across large venues

Note:

If you hold a Certificate of Approval (COA) and/or an NZQA National Certificate in Security (Level 3) this is fantastic, however all we require from you is to be willing and able to obtain them if appointed.

The cost for this will be re- imbursed to you when hired.
