Ever wondered about the magic behind parcel delivery? It's a tale of teamwork, cutting-edge and data-led technology, and some truly awesome people. All united by one mission – to deliver for New Zealand. Ready to be a part of that story? Let's go!

Our Processing Officers create the magic by sorting, consolidating and dispatching parcels and freight at our Manawatu Operations Centre, ready for our couriers to deliver.   We're a lively bunch, with a diverse set of skills, but we all share one common goal - to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our beautiful Aotearoa.  

On Call employees are an essential part of our business as we call on them to assist us as and when required.  You might be called in to cover illness, extended leave or help us our during our peak delivery periods.    It's a great way to balance work and lifestyle!  Want to see what our Processing Officers do?
