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
