Description
About the Company
At Fonterra, we take pride in our cooperative spirit and commitment to supporting our people. We believe in the potential of every individual and are dedicated to fostering career growth within our organization. With a diverse range of roles available across our cooperative, we strive to ensure there is an opportunity for everyone, regardless of their business unit or life stage.
We have a deep appreciation for Kiwi dairy farmers, who for generations have demonstrated hard work, ingenuity, and a sense of community. These qualities not only produce high-quality New Zealand milk but also contribute to the well-being of families and the economy. At Farm Source, we embody this cooperative ethos by making farming easier for our farmers, allowing them to focus on what they do best. We are looking for dedicated individuals who possess a strong work ethic and a willingness to tackle challenges, whether on the farm or in our local stores.
About the Role
We invite you to join our nationwide Farm Source store team, where you will become part of a group of agricultural experts and set yourself on a path for a rewarding career. Our busy Rakaia store is seeking a proactive and well-organized team member to provide expert advice on farming products to our loyal customers.
In this fast-paced role, you will be responsible for delivering exceptional customer service, processing orders, and ensuring timely delivery of products to our farmers. This is an exciting opportunity to expand your agricultural knowledge and explore various career pathways within our broader business. The working hours for this position are Monday to Friday from 8 am to 5 pm, with occasional rostered Saturdays.
About You
We are looking for a self-motivated and adaptable team member with excellent customer service and communication skills. A high level of physical fitness is essential, as this role involves manual handling, including lifting 25kg bags and moving 200L drums on a daily basis.
While prior customer service or sales experience is preferred, we welcome candidates transitioning from farm work or those with strong customer service skills interested in the agricultural and dairy industry. Other key attributes we are looking for include:
- Experience in rural settings is beneficial, but not required.
- A good level of physical fitness to meet the demands of the job.
- A clean full driver’s license and experience driving with trailers.
- A valid forklift license or a willingness to obtain one.
If you resonate with our values and are eager to contribute to our team, we encourage you to apply and become part of our cooperative journey. Together, we can achieve great things.
