We are looking to recruit a Casual Guillotine Operator at the Poolburn Stone Quarry (aka a Rockstar!).

Wanaka Stone Ltd is a small company providing high quality stone products to the stonemasonry industry in New Zealand. We pride ourselves on our commitment to safety and our willingness to inovate for constant improvement.

This position would cover our permanent staff time off, as well as coming in on a semi-regular basis to help with getting orders ready. There is potential for this to become a permanent role.

No previous experience required, as full training will be given. The role involves operating our state of the art guillotines as well as manual handling, using a variety of hand tools and operating some heavy machinery.

Experience and licences operating heavy machinery would be useful, but not necessary.

You will be
- reliable, hardworking, with a good attitude and willingness to learn.

- reasonably physically fit as this role involves moving stones through the guillotine.

- able to get on with others.

- able to pass pre-employment drug testing.

- live reasonably local to the quarry (Alexandra, Omakau, Ida Valley)
