Yardman / Dispatch Coordinator

Waikato Frame and Truss Ltd — Frame & Truss Manufacturing Location: Hautapu/Cambridge | Hours: Full-time, Mon–Fri (occasional overtime) About the job We’re after a hands-on, reliable person to take charge of our yard and help keep things running smoothly. You’ll be coordinating and loading the daily deliveries of frames, trusses, and other materials to building sites — making sure every load is safe, accurate, and on time. When things are quiet in the yard, you’ll jump in and lend a hand in the factory — helping with general production tasks, assembly, or prep work. It’s a varied role that suits someone who enjoys a mix of yard work, dispatch, and hands-on production. Day to day, you’ll:

• Plan and organise daily dispatch schedules.
• Load/unload trucks, check paperwork, and secure loads properly.
• Keep the yard tidy and organised — staging, stock, and waste.
• Help in the factory between dispatch runs (assembly, prepping components, etc).
• Carry out pre-dispatch quality checks.
• Communicate clearly with builders, site supervisors, and drivers.
• Keep up good health & safety practices and complete pre-start checks. We’re looking for someone who:
• Has yard or dispatch experience (ideally in construction or manufacturing).
• Holds a current forklift licence (OSH) — F endorsement is a bonus.
• Has a full NZ driver’s licence (Class 2 even better).
• Knows how to secure loads safely and work efficiently under pressure.
• Is reliable, organised, and enjoys working in a team.
• Can use basic computer systems for dispatch or transport paperwork. What’s on offer:
• Good pay based on experience + overtime and training opportunities.
• Steady Monday–Friday hours in a supportive, safety-focused environment.
• A great team that values hard work and a good attitude.
• Long-term stability and opportunities to grow into logistics or operations. Other details: Applicants must have the right to work and already be living in New Zealand.
