Grocery Assistant (Morning Fill)


Are you someone who gets up before the alarm? Do you love ticking off a solid day’s work before most people have had their coffee? If you’re reliable, hard-working, and not afraid of a bit of hustle, we want you on our early morning Grocery Operations team at PAK’nSAVE Tamatea!

 

 

PAK’nSAVE Tamatea is a large employer, and we are looking for people who are interested in joining our amazing team in our busy supermarket. You need to be very reliable and enjoy working within a large group of people.  Of course, you will be very customer focused and be able to work productively and efficiently while still having fun!

We are a seven day-a-week business, opening between 7am - 9pm, though we operate 24/7. Many positions start or finish outside our store opening hours to ensure we are ready to provide our customers with all the freshest products and widest range possible.

We have 2 part time roles available, working 20 hours per week on the following roster:

  • Wednesday to Sunday 3am - 7am

 

About the role;

  • Filling and facing shelves across the shop floor
  • Stock rotation – making sure products with the earliest expiry dates go at the front
  • Cleaning and tidying your area as you go to keep things safe and presentable
  • Breaking down boxes and disposing of packaging correctly
  • Checking stock levels and reporting gaps or low stock to supervisors
  • Working to timeframes – our goal is to have the store fully filled before 7am
  • Lifting, shifting, and moving quickly – this is physical work that keeps you on your feet

About you;

We don’t need superheroes — just solid, dependable humans who are:

  • Punctual – 3am means 3am
  • Physically fit – this is an active, heavy lifting, on-your-feet kind of role
  • Team-focused – we work together to get it done (and have a few laughs along the way)
  • Hard-working – when the pressure’s on, you keep moving
  • Mature and reliable – this isn’t a short-term gig; we’re after long-term legends

     

Why you'll love it;

  • Start early, finish early – have your day free!
  • Work with a great team who support each other and enjoy a laugh along the way
  • Opportunities to grow and take on more responsibility
  • Long-term job stability 
  • Be part of a friendly, fast-moving team that works together to get the job done before the first customer walks in.
  • Feel part of a store that values your contribution from the moment you clock in
