Freight Inspector - Lower Hutt/Wellington

Please read the following carefully before you proceed with an application or query - We understand this is an appealing role for many, at a time where the job market is tough. However, we ourselves are contractors and do not have time/resourcing to reply to individual phone or email queries about this role.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. If you have a question, please apply, you will be able to check any details with us if/when we get in touch with you.**

NZ freight inspect is seeking a reliable individual to undertake inspections of cargo shipments prior to export.

This role requires very little time investment (1-5 hours per week currently) and pays up to $50 per inspection. Each inspection takes around 15-30 minutes to complete (not including travel time) so can work out to an excellent hourly rate if you're efficient and schedule wisely.

You will initially start with a few inspections per week, with potential for the number of inspections to increase in the future.

For travel that is significantly outside of your inspection area, we will arrange compensation for time & petrol.

Due to low time-input required, this would be an ideal role for someone with existing flexible work arrangements, retirees, or students. The work does not require any qualifications, and though experience in the recycling industry, exports, freight, or inspections is a plus, this is not a requirement.

• You will need to be based in Wellington or nearby & willing to travel to other locations on occasion.
• Most jobs will be based in Lower Hutt (some at the Port) so it makes the most sense for our new

• Travel to a reasonable distance outside of Wellington is expense-claimable.
• You will need to be reliable. Once an inspection has been allocated to you, you will need to schedule and complete the inspection within 3-7 days.
• You'll need to be contactable via phone & email.
• You'll need a degree of computer literacy - nothing too complicated but the task will involve resizing & uploading photos via an online portal.
• You'll need phone that can take pictures (or a digital camera).
• You'll need your own vehicle & clean, valid NZ driver's license - either restricted or full.
• You'll need to be accurate. Shipments are sent overseas with our say-so. We do spot audit to ensure that our standards are being upheld.

Please note that this is a contractor role - so IRD tax, ACC levies, etc. are in your own hands.

If this role sounds like a good fit for you, and you feel that you'll be able to carry out inspections as needed, please apply via Trademe with your CV and cover letter.

• Please note that we always receive an extremely high volume of applications for these roles & will not be able to speak to every candidate ahead of making our selection. We will always make contact to advise whether or not applications have been successful, but don't have time to debrief all applicants on how/why we make our selections.
