YOU CHOOSE! - We have heaps of jobs to suit your interest!

Safety is our priority. We operate in a busy industrial environment with many people, machinery, and vehicles moving around the site. Please read the job requirements carefully before selecting your preferred role in the application process.

The work can be fast, physical, and busy — you’ll be on your feet for long stretches and using your hands constantly, and some roles involve regular lifting. But you’ll be surrounded by a team that supports each other, laughs together, and makes even the tough days worthwhile. 

To apply, you must be 16 years or older, have the legal right to work in New Zealand, and be able to provide:
     - Photo ID (passport or driver's licence & birth certificate)
     - NZ bank account details
     - IRD number

If you want a workplace that feels like a community — with good people, great food, real laughs, cultural diversity, and the chance to earn solid money in a uniquely Kiwi environment — then DMS is the place to be.
