A strong standard of health and safety for self and others.

Why Port Otago?
You’ll get to work with a supportive and driven team who turn up every day to make a difference. You’ll also have access to a range of fantastic benefits including:
Competitive remuneration package and support for your ongoing development.
7% employer superannuation contribution and company-paid comprehensive health insurance cover for you, your partner, and any dependent children.
Free on-site parking, fruit boxes delivered weekly to break areas, full uniform provided, Nespresso machines on-site for your daily coffee fix, and various wellness initiatives throughout the year.
A work environment where everyone is included, treated fairly and with respect.
Heads up:
Microsoft Office and administration skills testing will be completed as part of our recruitment process.
