We’re partnering with a top-tier New Zealand food manufacturing business, recognised for its strong heritage, global reputation, and ongoing investment in people and technology.
This is your opportunity to join a high-performing processing site in the Manawatū, where you’ll be part of a close-knit engineering team that takes pride in keeping things running smoothly. With early starts (5am) and early finishes, this role is ideal for someone who enjoys getting into their day early and having time back later on, with occasional Saturday work when required.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Join a well-established, globally connected business with long-term stability
- Be part of a tight-knit, supportive engineering team
- Work on a modern, well-invested site with ongoing improvements
- Enjoy day-to-day variety — from breakdowns to projects and upgrades
- Secure a long-term opportunity in a business with consistent demand
- Early start means your afternoons are your own
You’ll play a key role in keeping production running safely and efficiently, including:
- Diagnosing faults and repairing electrical and control systems in a fast-paced environment
- Maintaining site-wide electrical infrastructure (low & extra low voltage)
- Supporting plant start-ups, upgrades, and new project work
- Installing and upgrading equipment to meet NZ standards
- Maintaining lighting, automation, and instrumentation systems
- Working closely with production teams to minimise downtime
- Coordinating contractors and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives
- NZ Registered Electrician (Level 4) essential
- Full EWRB licence (or close to completion)
- 5+ years’ experience in industrial or manufacturing environments
- Strong fault-finding skills across electrical and control systems
- A practical, team-first attitude and willingness to get involved
- Must already be based in New Zealand
