About the role
The Racking Installer is part of Southward's Bay of Plenty installation crew. You will assist with the assembly and installation of racking, shelving and other storage products on customer sites across the region, working under the direction of the BOP Racking Supervisor. From the Port of Tauranga's industrial and logistics catchment to the region's packhouses and coolstores, our BOP projects are varied and busy. No two sites are the same, and you will get hands-on experience with a wide range of storage systems — from shelving and cantilever through to pallet, drive-in and shuttle racking. This is a physical, practical, team-based role.
