About New Zealand Couriers

For more than 50 years, New Zealand Couriers has worked tirelessly to offer our customers the best possible levels of service. New Zealand Couriers is Freightways’ Flagship Brand. With over 1,100 employees, and 550 independent contractors in 25 locations across the length and breadth of New Zealand, we are incredibly proud to be the country’s leading Courier Company.

About the Role

Working in both the fleet management and distribution parts of our business, you will often be working alongside the team in the depot or on the road to ensure we are meeting and exceeding our service standards.

This position is based at our Nelson branch, working Monday to Friday 8:45am - 5:45pm.

  • Operations and/or Fleet management
  • Health and Safety
  • KPI management and improvement


The ideal appointee will be a strong communicator and display energy, drive and enthusiasm. Having a can-do attitude and plenty of initiative will be core attributes of the successful candidate.

If you are driven to be the best, and have the skills and experience required to be a success in this role then please apply today.
