Join AsureQuality as a Senior Assessor – Logs!
Casual Opportunity | Inspection Role | Protect New Zealand Borders
The Opportunity:
Based in Nelson, AsureQuality is seeking a Senior Assessor – Logs to join our team in a pivotal role within the forestry industry. You will play an essential part in ensuring the compliance and safety of New Zealand’s forestry imports and exports. In this role, you will be responsible for delivering efficient, professional inspection and assessment services, ensuring that cargo is disease-free, clean, and safe for transport.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with forestry or port experience, or for anyone eager to learn and develop in this dynamic field. This casual role will see you based at the port, with hours that vary week to week—including weekends, based on shipping timetables. Some weeks there may be no work, so this role will be suitable for someone who is already doing casual work, or maybe you’re self-employed, and would like a bit more to do. When required, there will also be the opportunity for travel to other ports throughout New Zealand to fulfil customer requirements.
Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct thorough inspections and assessments of logs to ensure they meet quality and safety standards
- Provide clear and accurate communication to internal and external customers
- Use field-based data systems, including mobile apps and laptops, to gather and report data
- Ensure documentation is completed in a timely manner within specified timeframes
- Safeguard New Zealand’s borders by ensuring that only clean, safe, and disease-free cargo is transported
About You:
To thrive in this role, you should have:
- Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to provide accurate, professional feedback
- Proficiency with field-based data systems (including apps and laptops)
- A strong, healthy body and a genuine passion for working outdoors
- An ability to be flexible and able to work at short notice
- Be willing and able to travel to other ports throughout NZ when required
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to manage conflicting interests
- A strong focus on health and safety
- A full, clean New Zealand driver’s license (desired)
If you have a keen eye for detail and a passion for quality and safety, this role is the perfect springboard to success in the exciting field of log assessment and border protection!
