Job Description

Warehouse 2IC – Step Up & Own It


Mount Maunganui | Full-time | Monday–Friday | No weekends


Ready to be the engine room of a real export business?

Florentines Patisserie has been producing premium frozen desserts and baked goods for 30+ years, and our products ship across New Zealand, Australia, the Pacific, and Asia every single week. We're a tight team who take pride in what we do, and we're looking for someone ready to step into a genuine leadership role and make it their own.

If you're sharp, organised, tech-savvy, and want a role where you can actually see the impact of your work, this is it.


The Role

As Warehouse 2IC, you'll be a key part of our operations, working hands-on alongside a small warehouse crew while keeping everything running accurately and efficiently. You'll be the go-to person on the floor: picking raw ingredients for production, building out export containers, scanning and receipting stock, and making sure our inventory is always spot on.

This isn't a job where you disappear into the background. You'll be trusted, visible, and set up to shine.


  • What You'll Be Doing
  • Ingredient picking — selecting and staging the right raw materials for the production team each day
  • Export container packing — putting together outbound containers accurately and to schedule
  • Scanning & stock receipting — checking in deliveries, scanning product, and keeping records clean
  • ERP system operation — processing orders, managing documentation, and maintaining inventory accuracy in our warehouse management system
  • Stock control — daily reconciliation, cycle counts, and keeping our warehouse accuracy tight
  • Team leadership — allocating tasks, training staff, and stepping up when it matters
  • Dispatch & logistics — coordinating outbound orders, liaising with suppliers and freight
  • Health & safety — keeping the environment safe and compliant

  • You'll Bring
  • Solid warehouse or logistics experience, ideally in food manufacturing or FMCG
  • Confidence with computer systems: ERP, scanning software, and general computer literacy are a must
  • A sharp eye for detail and a commitment to accuracy
  • Leadership experience (or a clear readiness to take that next step)
  • Forklift/high-reach ticket (or current and able to maintain it)
  • A positive attitude and someone your teammates want to work with
  • Reliable transport and a Monday–Friday commitment

  • What You'll Get
  • Excellent salary — reflecting your experience and contribution
  • Stable, full-time hours with zero weekend work
  • A role with real responsibility from day one
  • Genuine opportunity to grow as the business grows
  • A supportive, no-BS team culture
