Quarry Worker
Wanaka Stone Ltd Wanaka, Wanaka
Job Description
CASUAL LABOURERS - CLUDEN STONE QUARRY
Spring is here and we are looking for casual workers for the paving area at Cluden Quarry. They will be selecting and trimming larger flat stones typically used in gardens as paving and stepping stones.
The work is very physical and suits people who are used to working outdoors and who are already fit and ready to start a physical job. You must be able to lift stones weighing around 20 kg from the ground to waist height and into a bag multiple times per day. Full training in safe lifting techniques will be given before work is started.
This is a casual position where you get paid an hourly rate ($29.66) plus 8% holiday pay on top, giving a total hourly rate of $32.03 before tax. We provide free staff transport between Wānaka and the quarry.
This role would suit someone looking for full time work from now until around mid December - applicants must be able to commit to this timeframe. Please note, we can only offer work in the paving area when the weather is good as it's unsafe to operate in wet (slippery) conditions. We close down operations in the height of summer when it is too hot and re-start again around February.
There may be the opportunity to move to a permanent role over the coming months.
If you'd like to find out more, please contact Kath on 0273972988 or . We look forward to hearing from you.
