The main responsibilities of this role include:


  • Completing scheduled daily and weekly cleaning tasks throughout the warehouse.

  • Identifying and promptly reporting cleaning, maintenance, safety, hygiene, or pest-control issues.
  • Using and storing cleaning equipment, chemicals, and consumables safely and correctly.
  • Helping prevent foreign matter contamination and supporting food safety and warehouse hygiene standards.
  • Assisting with other reasonable duties as required to support the smooth running of the warehouse.


Skills and Experience

The ideal candidate will have the following skills and attributes:

  • Previous cleaning experience in a commercial, industrial, manufacturing, or warehouse environment is a bonus.
  • Experience operating mobile equipment and machinery is an advantage, with a willingness to learn and follow all safety procedures.
  • A practical, can-do attitude and the ability to follow cleaning schedules, work instructions, and safety procedures.
  • A keen eye for detail, ensuring our warehouse is clean, tidy, and ready for the day ahead.
  • Initiative and a proactive approach, with the flexibility to adapt when priorities change.
  • The confidence to work independently while being a supportive and valued member of the wider team.
  • Our warehouse is a large facility that keeps you moving throughout the day so you will need to be comfortable being on your feet.


What we offer:



  • Health & wellbeing – fully covered health insurance plus access to exclusive partner discounts
  • Family-friendly support – industry-leading parental leave through our Matua policy
  • Sustainable values – we’re proud to be B Corp™ certified
