Description

We're looking for a reliable, physically fit team member with strong knowledge of Melbourne and Victoria to work across our warehouse and delivery operations. You'll pick, pack and prepare heavy and bulky orders, deliver them in our company vehicle, and go the extra mile to make sure every customer is delighted.

Our customers expect a premium service, and that means we don't just drop and go. If you take pride in your work and love getting it right, we'd love to hear from you.


At the start, we are expecting to offer 1-2 days per week, with the hope of offering more hours as demand grows.
