Operations Supervisor- Christchurch

At EnviroNZ, we live by our values – we’re respectful, we look after each other, act with honesty, and put safety above all else!

Want a role where no two days are the same? Join our Christchurch Collections team as an Operations Supervisor and take charge of the day-to-day running of our fleet, drivers and operations.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be the person keeping things moving — making sure our drivers have what they need, our trucks are where they need to be, and our customers get the service they expect. You’ll:

• Lead and supervise our team of drivers, keeping them on track and dealing with issues as they come up
• Coordinate daily runs, making changes when breakdowns, delays or other issues get in the way
• Keep a close eye on our fleet, making sure vehicles are safe, compliant, maintained and ready to go
• Work with drivers on vehicle checks, worktime, logbooks and any issues that need following up
• Monitor performance, investigate problems and use data to identify where things can be improved
• Keep customers in the loop when there are delays or changes to their service
• Work closely with the Operations Manager, Branch Manager, Sales and Customer Service teams to keep the operation running smoothly
• Take an active role in health and safety, including tailgate meetings, incident investigations and making sure safe work practices are followed
• Jump behind the wheel when needed to keep our customers serviced

What we’re looking for

You’ll be a hands-on supervisor who knows how to lead people, keep things organised and make decisions when things don’t go to plan. You’ll also have:

• 3+ years’ experience in a supervisory role, ideally in transport, waste or a similar fast-paced operational environment
• Experience managing a team and a fleet of vehicles
• A Class 2 licence
• Good working knowledge of MS Office
• Strong organisation skills and the ability to juggle competing priorities
• The confidence to have straightforward conversations and deal with issues when they arise
• A practical approach to problem-solving and a focus on getting things done safely
• Hold NZ residency or an open NZ work visa
