Labourer Jobs In New Zealand

Summer in Marlborough is kicking off, and we’re building our crew. AWF Blenheim is looking for reliable, physically fit labourers to join us on a casual, on-call basis across the region. This is for people who want variety one day you might be making deliveries, the next you’re on a civil site or helping with car grooming. If you’re keen to get stuck in, work hard, and be part of a supportive team that actually checks in on you, we’d love to hear from you.

Company Overview

AWF is New Zealand’s largest recruitment agency, and we’ve been connecting Kiwis with work for over 30 years . Our Blenheim branch is right in the heart of town at 13 Main Street, and we’re proud to support one of the country’s most dynamic regional economies. From viticulture and horticulture to civil construction and transport, Marlborough’s industries move fast and we keep them staffed with good people who turn up on time and do the job properly. Our local team is led by Lauren Deacon and Melanie Kenton, who between them bring over a decade of experience in recruitment, compliance, and mentoring . We don’t just send you to a site and forget about you. We check in. We provide PPE. We pay weekly. And we actually get to know your name.

Key Responsibilities

The work varies week to week, and that’s the point. Here’s what you might be doing:

• Making local deliveries using Class 1 or 2 vehicles getting product where it needs to go, safely and on time
• Devanning containers and handling freight as it comes through the port or distribution centres
• Supporting civil and construction sites with general labouring digging, clearing, moving materials, keeping sites tidy
• Assisting with site maintenance and landscaping projects across the region
• General labouring tasks across industrial, horticultural, and commercial settings
• Car grooming cleaning and detailing vehicles to presentation standard

Qualifications

We’re looking for attitude first. Experience is welcome, but reliability is everything.

You must have:

• Physical fitness and the ability to lift 25kg and upwards throughout the day
• Your own reliable transport to get to and from work daily (work locations vary)
• A flexible, reliable attitude—we need people who show up when they say they will
• The ability to follow instructions and work well as part of a team
• Strong health and safety focus—looking out for yourself and the people around you
• Initiative and a “get stuck in” mindset
• Legal right to work in New Zealand

It’s an advantage if you have:

• A Full Class 1 licence (essential for delivery roles, but not required for all positions)
• Previous labouring experience in any of the work areas listed

You will be required to undertake a pre-employment drug and alcohol screen, criminal history check, and provide references on request.

Benefits and Perks

• Weekly pay – no waiting around
• PPE provided – we kit you out properly, at no cost to you
• Ongoing support – your manager checks in regularly. You’re not just a number
• Regular health and safety monitoring – we take your wellbeing seriously
• Variety of work – no two days the same. Build experience across multiple industries
• A great team – join a crew that actually gets along and looks out for each other
