Truck Driver

RealNZ is on the hunt for a reliable, safety-conscious Truck Driver to help keep our Queenstown operations running like clockwork.

But it's not just about driving; you'll also be hands‑on with receiving, handling, and dispatching goods, making sure everything is checked, recorded, and delivered with care. You'll work closely with our Operations Coordinator and Executive Chef to ensure everything gets where it needs to be, when it needs to be there. From keeping stock levels in check to building great relationships with suppliers, you'll be a key part of the team.

Who are we looking for?

• You must have a class 2 license
• Preferably have experience operating loaders
• Must be physically fit and able to shovel several tons of coal
• Can work autonomously
• Is a clear communicator and a team player who takes pride in doing things right
