General Hand/Stores Driver

Are you fit and active with a knack for keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes? Join the team that powers the unforgettable Walter Peak Experience - where every delivery helps create magic for our guests.

We're looking for a reliable and proactive Stores Truck Driver to support kitchen and store operations, help manage deliveries, and contribute to the daily rhythm of life at Walter Peak.

In this role, you'll safely transport produce and prepared food between kitchen, vessels, and storage areas, accurately checking deliveries and maintaining vehicle cleanliness. You'll support kitchen and stores operations by managing daily stocktakes, monitoring freezer and chiller temperatures, and ensuring safe food handling and hygiene. Daily tasks include keeping loading bays tidy, managing rubbish and recycling, assisting with firewood collection and BBQ prep, and supporting vessel arrivals and departures. You'll also help welcome guests at Walter Peak, offering directions when needed, while maintaining high standards across all workspaces.

What you'll be doing:

• Delivering food and freight around the Walter Peak property, ensuring goods are accurately checked, recorded, and stored
• Loading and unloading vessels and vehicles, including catching lines for the TSS Earnslaw on arrival and assisting departures
• Managing stores rooms: stock rotation, daily stocktakes, temperature checks, and safe food handling standards
• Keeping the loading bay, wharves, and surrounding areas clean and tidy
• Assisting the Rural team with firewood, and stacking wood/charcoal for BBQ service

What you'll bring:

• A full NZ driver's licence (any commercial driving experience an advantage)
• Experience with manual handling
• A positive, can-do attitude and the ability to work well as part of a team
• Comfort working outdoors, on the water, and around vessels in all weather

What's in it for you?

• Guaranteed full-time hours throughout the season
• Plus, you'll gain access to some incredible staff perks - think exclusive rates (and even free access) to RealNZ's unforgettable experiences. Raft Queenstown's rivers, explore Rakiura, access to Cardrona Bike Park, wander through the Te Anau Glowworm Caves, and cruise Milford and Doubtful Sound.

Real people, real places, real experiences. Welcome to Real.

When's the best time to join the Real whānau? Now's good.

We're the conservation business that's enabled by tourism. We're helping the world, one guest at a time, fall in love with conservation. We're inspiring people to leave their places in better conditions than when they found them. We channel a guest-centric approach that fuels our genuine promise to deliver Aotearoa's most unforgettable experiences.

It's our workplace environment that makes careers at RealNZ more exciting than the regular job. Working for Real could mean you're based anywhere between a secluded island, a scenic fiord, and a snow-capped maunga. Our people, places, and workdays are a great and diverse mixture. It keeps us on our toes and adds value and passion to our work.

At RealNZ, we're committed to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. Guided by our values of Pono (Keep it real) and He waka eke noa (We're all in this together), we embrace and celebrate the unique perspectives and experiences that make our team stronger. Everyone is welcome here.
