Job description:
DISTRIBUTION OPERATOR X 2 - KAPUNI
• Great progression framework allowing fast progression with the right drive and attitude
• 12 Month Fixed Term - Immediate start
• Competitive remuneration
WHY BALLANCE?
Rewarding the great work of our team is important, which is why we offer a range of benefits for you and your family including:

• A company that is committed to your learning and development
• We have a family first approach to flexibility by offering day time shifts (occasional night shifts are required when loading ships) and some Saturday morning work

ABOUT THE ROLE
This role is a great foot-in-the-door to get your career really humming. We have an opportunity here at our Kapuni Manufacturing site that is a fantastic way to really get to know the business and to catapult your Ballance career.
We aren't going to sugarcoat it...our Distribution Operators work hard! We supply Nitrogen based fertiliser to help farmers feed the country and this can bring with it a challenging work environment.
A typical day will include:
• Processing customer orders and inquiries - checking accuracy and fixing up any anomalies
• Loader and forklift operation including maintenance
• Fixed plant operation including bagging fertiliser
• Ensuring the site operates safely with regular maintenance checks
• Interacting with customers and colleagues and having a laugh!
If you would like an opportunity to visit our site to get a sense of the environment and whether it's the right place for you, we will be happy to show you around. Just flick us an email at [email protected] with your contact details and we can arrange a suitable time with you.
Please note: There may be the occasional time where we may need you to be available to help out in other locations so flexibility is important.
ABOUT YOU
We supply all of your PPE needs, so if you are reliable, honest a keen learner and have a minimum class 2 drivers licence (or the ability to obtain one) then you are just who we are looking for - everything else we can teach you!
ABOUT US
We love New Zealand and we care about our growth, our land and our people. We work together to create a future we can all be proud of every day.
Our values of Imagination, Bravery, Connections and Honesty mean we look out for each other and stand for what we believe in. We take ownership for growing and developing ourselves, and supporting and challenging each other so we can all reach our full potential.
Here at Ballance, you have a part to play. You can make your place and are free to make a real difference.
Together, we care about our people and our place, about the future of farming and New Zealand and we'd would love for you to join us - "Growing together, caring for people and the land. All in for the future of farming".
