We are looking for a ‘can-do' person to assist in our harbour operations at Port Tarakohe in Golden Bay in a part time capacity.

The primary purpose of this role is to provide support to the Port Manager and provide relief cover in their absence. The hours and days of work are likely vary from week to week but will be a minimum of 20 hours per week.

The ability to work flexible hours is a key aspect of this role, as you'll also be required to work weekends and additional hours to cover for the Port Manager during periods of annual leave and other work absences. There is also a two week on-call roster that you must be available to work.

This predominantly land-based role requires a reasonable standard of fitness due to the tasks that will be required. Having a general understanding of maritime operations, being customer focused and being able to undertake general maintenance as well as some office based duties at the Port are all key skills you'll bring with you.

You will be the sort of person who is capable of dealing with a vastly diverse range of people, problems and demands, and will be able to work independently in the Port Manager's absence. We place a high level of importance on workplace health and safety for all Port users, accordingly you will promote and demonstrate the same high standards.
