It's hard to find a role that provides it all, but we believe this may just be it! Just minutes from the central city, we offer consistent and yet varied work, the opportunity to work for a truly iconic Canterbury Business, and a location with a view that is second to none!

About us

Lyttelton Port of Christchurch is New Zealand's third-largest deep water port. It provides a vital link in international trade routes, and plays a key role in the global transport network. A customer-focused Port, we provide a full array of shipping services, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, making a real contribution to the economic wellbeing of people and businesses in Canterbury and New Zealand.

About you
