Logging Dispatcher

Description:

T Croft Ltd is a family-owned transport company based in Stillwater, 15 km inland from Greymouth. We are a well-established forestry transport operation with a strong reputation for safety, reliability, and customer service.

About the Role:

We are currently looking for a Logging Dispatcher to join our team based in Greymouth.
