Coolstore & Dispatch Logistics Supervisor 

Thirty seven years of commitment to world class excellence has seen Riversun become the leading supplier of certified grafted grapevines to the thriving New Zealand winegrowing industry.

We are currently looking for a Supervisor in our Coolstore & Dispatch:

If you……..

• Thrive in the challenges a seasonal operation can throw at you!
• Can adhere to stringent procedures and timeframes.
• Are passionate about quality, accuracy and traceability.
• Show attention to detail in your work and in your record keeping.
• Have good communication, admin and computer skills.
• Are hard-working and prepared to put in the extra hours during the busy season.
• Can motivate and supervise staff.
• Have a commitment to health and safety.
• Are willing to be flexible - during the off season (Jan to May) you must be prepared to work in other areas of Riversun’s business.

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you……

In a perfect world, you would have some experience in a logistics, coolstore or inventory management role... and an interest in Horticulture. At Riversun we have learnt a few things over the years.  Firstly, it is never a perfect world!  Secondly, having a positive, can-do attitude and an inquiring mind, whilst treating fellow staff, our baby vines and grafting materials with decency and respect counts for more than anything else.
