Labour Allocator - Mount Forestry

Employing over 1200 staff in 11 locations across New Zealand, C3 Limited is a market leader in New Zealand’s port related product and cargo handling, adding value to our client’s businesses by providing solutions to their transport and logistics needs.

Our Mount Forestry branch is looking for a Labour Allocator to add to our Labour Allocation team. This busy role is a permanent position where the main duties are to schedule shift work to a pool of skilled personnel over a 24/7 week. Knowledge of port or logistics operations and experience dealing with unions is beneficial but not essential. Additionally, the successful candidate will be flexible and be able to work autonomously with minimal direction to deal with changing deadlines and requirements. 

Primary responsibilities for this position include allocating work assignments to operational staff on a daily basis, while ensuring accurate records of when staff are available to work and tracking the hours they have worked. You will ensure that there are enough staff with the right skills available on each shift to cover operations that include the loading/unloading of vessels. This role covers labour allocation for our stevedoring and log marshalling operations.

As shipping schedules can be disrupted you need to be able to cope with change, think on your feet and have flexibility to meet new deadlines. Well-developed planning and scheduling skills are essential. Being well organized, with an ability to prioritise while maintaining high levels of accuracy is a key requirement for this position. As a primary liaison person with our staff a positive attitude with great communication and people skills is also paramount.

Good knowledge of communication technology is important too as you will need to keep in contact with our staff and other branches by a variety of methods – phone, text and email. Confident computer skills are also required as you will need to use our rostering system – Emplive, word and excel to schedule and plan labour requirements 

If you meet the requirements mentioned above and would like to be part of our team then we would like to hear from you. As part of the selection process the successful applicant will need to pass a pre-employment medical and drug & alcohol test.
