Location: Christchurch
Region: Christchurch & Canterbury
Experience: Limited Experience Necessary
Listing Added: 16/09/2026
Company: Epic Campers Limited

OPERATIONS ASSISTANT / GROOMER — CHRISTCHURCH 

No two days the same — join the crew keeping our campervans road-ready and our customers stoked.
 

ABOUT US 

EPIC Campers is no ordinary campervan rental business. We're small but mighty, with a growing fleet, depots and team in both Auckland and Christchurch. Our mission: deliver the ultimate 2 person NZ campervan experience. With 500+ 5-star Google reviews, we're known for innovative campervans, smart processes and genuinely great service.
 

THE ROLE 


We're after an all-star Operations Assistant / Groomer to join our small, high-performing Christchurch team, starting September.

Work rights: you'll need current NZ work rights to apply (working holiday visa welcome provided you have 10+ months remaining on your visa) — we're not able to sponsor this role.

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Welcome customers at pick-up, walk them through their campervan, and get them set for the road
  • Handle drop-offs — meet customers, run vehicle checks, update our systems like a boss
  • Clean and prep vehicles to EPIC Campers' high standard, with all equipment on board before every hire
  • Handle basic customer enquiries via email, WhatsApp and phone
  • Basic vehicle checks and maintenance — fluid top-ups, wiper blades and more
  • Basic campervan interior fixes — curtain tracks, drawer catches, small parts replacements
  • Admin tasks and ad-hoc errands, including running vehicles to and from suppliers

 

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

  • A "roll up your sleeves and get it done" mentality — happy to smash through hands-on priority work
  • Stellar communication skills, written and verbal
  • High attention to detail — you love a good process and take pride in getting it right
  • At least a year's experience in a dynamic operations or customer-facing role (bonus points for small business experience)
  • A full driver's licence and your own transport to get to and from our depot
  • A growth mindset — hungry to learn, always improving, takes feedback like a champ


NICE TO HAVE

  • Experience in campervan/car rental, tourism, hospitality or travel
  • Cleaning or vehicle grooming experience
  • Basic knowledge of vehicle maintenance
  • Solid DIY skills — handy with common tools, good at fixing things
  • A history of travel or living overseas
  • Startup or small business experience
  • A love for campervans, road trips and epic adventures

 

WHAT WE OFFER

  • $27.80/hour
  • Annual performance bonus of up to 12% of salary (kicks in after 3 months)
  • Free campervan rentals during off-peak times
  • A fast-growing, innovative small tourism business with real career growth potential
  • A fun, fast-paced culture that's big on results and low on red tape — no two days the same
