Maintenance Engineer

Details of the offer

About the Role
Our Te Aroha/Waitoa sites in the Waikato is one of Silver Fern Farms most modern and up to date processing facilities in Aotearoa, employing up to 440 people at the peak of the season.
We have a great opportunity for a motivated and skilled Maintenance Fitter/Engineer to join our engineering team. Be responsible for the hands-on day to day mechanical repairs and maintenance within our strong, stable and progressive engineering team of 30.
Previous experience in FMCG or transferrable production engineering environments would be an advantage, but the key is the ability to work as part of a team, to identify faults and use analytical and problem-solving skills to provide top level service to the processing plant. At times you will work in a sole charge capacity, all the while being entrenched as part of a maintenance team.
Your good interpersonal skills and an attitude for getting stuck in to get the job done as well as thinking outside of the box is valued and appreciated. We encourage new ideas and thought processes about how we can collaborate across our site to ensure we get to the root cause of issues and fix them right – first time.
You will have the opportunity to be involved in projects and installation of new site equipment as well as a wide range of mechanical engineering applications across the site. If you are interested in using your mechanical skills on a large industrial food processing site, and like the idea of working for one of New Zealand's largest food exporters, we look forward to hearing from you.
What you will bring to the role
Our successful applicant will possess the following skills and attributes:

Relevant Trades Qualification (Level 4 Mechanical Diagnostics | Fitter/Turner | Fitter/Welder and L4 Automotive Engineer | Time spent LV/ HD Mechanic)
Good knowledge of sound engineering principles and repairs and maintenance procedures on a large industrial processing site – or a passion to learn in this environment.
Ability to analyse problems and implement effective solutions in a timely manner and communicate this with those around you.
Be self-motivated and capable of working both independently and within a tight-knit team of engineering support.
Committed to Health & Safety.
Organised, with the ability to plan and prioritise workload in a challenging engineering environment and lead by example from the front.
Desire to keep learning and upskill – be this in a leadership scope or dual trading in to electrical – refrigeration or even project design.

Good to know
Our site operates both day and evening shifts. Our maintenance teams are required to work on a roster covering our production hours which runs between 6am and 3am Monday to Friday. Often this would include overtime during the day on a Saturday. Our ideal applicant will be flexible and happy to adapt to our business needs. In return, we offer competitive salary, ongoing training and development opportunities, and you will be joining a stellar team of work mates who not only want to see you succeed but will support you along the way.
How to Apply
We assess applications as they are received so don't delay. Submit your application.
Special note: we are open to discuss possible relocation assistance for the right candidate.
