Warehouse Pick Packer

Be Part of Something Bigger – Join Our Warehouse Team

At the heart of our wholesale operations is a passionate team dedicated to supporting successful independent retailers across Australia and New Zealand.  Our warehouse team members are the unsung heroes—picking, packing, and dispatching the products that fill the shelves of your favourite family-owned stores. 

We're currently hiring Pick Packers to join our energetic team at the Huntingwood Distribution Centre, with exciting roles available in our Grocery, Fresh & Perishables Warehouse. 

About Grocery

Our Grocery Warehouse is a fast-paced, high-volume environment where teamwork, accuracy, and efficiency are key.  We handle a wide range of grocery items—including dry goods, packaged foods, and household staples—ensuring they are picked, packed, and dispatched to stores across the region.

About Perishables

As part of our Perishables team, you'll be responsible for handling temperature-sensitive goods such as dairy, meat, frozen foods, fresh produce, and other chilled or frozen items, ensuring they are stored and distributed under strict temperature controls to maintain product quality.  *These roles require you to work in cold storage areas ranging from -20°C to 4°C.  Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is supplied to ensure your safety and comfort while working in cold conditions.

About Fresh

Our fresh department focuses on the storage and handling of perishable goods like produce, meat, and dairy. This area requires specialized equipment, temperature-controlled environments, and strict adherence to hygiene and quality control measures to maintain product freshness and prevent spoilage

About the role:

These hands-on roles involve working in a dynamic warehouse setting, contributing to the smooth and timely movement of stock from warehouse to store.

To thrive, you'll need a good level of physical fitness, as it involves lifting heavy boxes (up to 24kg) and standing or walking for long periods throughout your shift.  Got a forklift licence? That's a bonus—but not a dealbreaker.

What we offer:

Casual positions with the potential to work up to 38 hours per week, with shifts ranging from 8 to 10 hours per day, depending on business needs.

Shift start times:

Grocery: Between 8am-10 am

Perishable: Between 7am-9am

Fresh: 5am

Important requirements:

• PPE is supplied for those working in the perishables warehouse.

• Candidates will be required to undertake and pass a pre-employment medical including drug and alcohol screening.
