Catering Assistant Front Of House Dash Foodstuffs X 8 Jobs in New Zealand

Heliworx Waikato Ltd is a commercial and agricultural helicopter company located at the base of Mt Pirongia in the Waikato.

We support farmers and forestry companies applying agrichemicals and fertiliser. Other areas of work are scenic flights, private charters, frost protection and lifting.

We are after a helicopter ground support person to work with the pilot on day to day operations.

Job Description
A typical day would mean you would be required to be on site (usually a rural property) before daybreak with the ground equipment set up waiting for the pilot to arrive. (Yes that means waking up really early, like 4am!) Prior to the pilot arriving in the helicopter, you would brief the client on helicopter safety. The pilot will tell you when and what to put in the helicopter spray tanks or fertiliser hopper depending on the job. You could be working all day, or you might only work part of the day. This job revolves around the weather and some days you won’t work at all due to weather.

Starting well before daybreak is very normal here.

This is NOT a 8-5 Monday to Friday job.

We work some weekends too.

We want someone who wants to work and preferably enjoys aviation (you have to enjoy what you do).
