Job Description
We are Family! For over 90 years, Sleepyhead has been dedicated to helping New Zealanders enjoy a great night’s sleep. As a 100% Kiwi-owned and operated business, we proudly create local jobs and invest in the communities we serve.
As a family-owned company operating across New Zealand and Australia, we are guided by strong family values and a genuine commitment to our people. Our team is the foundation of our success, with many members celebrating long tenures—including some with over 50 years of service.
We are also proud to be part of The Comfort Group, Australasia’s largest bedding and foam manufacturer, with multiple facilities across New Zealand and Australia, including four major “super sites”.
About the Role:
Become a valued member of our bedding production team at our Otahuhu site! Based on your experience, you’ll take on a range of hands-on responsibilities, from handling raw materials to operating the machinery and equipment used in bedding manufacturing. You’ll rotate through various work centres, including mattress assembly, sewing, quilting, bases, upholstery, packing, spring line, housekeeping, and more.
Full training is provided, with the opportunity to become multi-skilled across the site.
Key Responsibilities may include:
Perform manual production tasks and operate machinery according to safety and quality standards
Follow operational and safety procedures for all production activities
Ensure raw materials and finished goods meet quality specifications
Complete quality checks and maintain accurate records
Work collaboratively to promote a safe, productive, and enjoyable workplace
Adhere to job rotation requirements and maintain high housekeeping standards
Report hazards, breakdowns, and non-conformances promptly
Participate in ongoing training and OHS improvement activities
Other duties as required by your supervisor
About You:
We’re seeking motivated, reliable team players who enjoy hands-on work, are safety-focused, and eager to learn and grow in a manufacturing environment. As well as:
Comfortable with manual handling and physical work
Reliable and punctual
Team player with a good attitude
Strong commitment to safety and quality
Willing to learn and work across multiple production areas
Good teamwork and communication skills
Manufacturing experience is an advantage, not essential
Forklift licence (advantageous for some positions)
On Offer
You will join a friendly, supportive team. Full training is provided, and you’ll be supported to become skilled across the site. As well as:
A supportive team environment
Full training and ongoing skill development
Subsidised Cafeteria
Onsite parking
Staff Discounts
Safety First
We are committed to maintaining a safe, respectful workplace. You’ll be expected to follow all safety procedures, use PPE, and contribute to a positive team culture.
