Permanent, Full Time | Queenstown

Join the exhilarating world of Shotover Jet—where adventure meets the deep cultural heritage of Ngāi Tahu. We are looking for an Inventory and Procurement Manager to take charge of the inventory and supply needs of jet boat parts.

At Shotover Jet, we're about more than just thrills. Manaakitanga (hospitality) is at the heart of what we do. We care for our customers, our team, and our place as we would our own whānau.
