Join Waka Kotahi in this strongly Agile focused role

  • Contribute to the delivery of highquality services across Waka Kotahi
  • Palmerston North, Wellington
Come and join our high performing team that takes pride in sharing knowledge and delivering project outcomes
Te Whiwhinga mahi | The opportunity


Charged with ensuring the delivery of quality software within engineering teams, and with driving forward test automation within their immediate team.

The responsibilities include challenging and questioning requirements and implementation as a way to prevent bugs and build quality, instead of finding bugs after implementation.

You will be part of a high performing agile and cross-functional product team, where the delivery of quality software is the teams primary goal.

You will not only deeply care what and why you deliver features, but also take intense pride in how.
We are looking for an excellent collaborator who is accurate, confident, and tenacious.

If you are keen to expand your already excellent technical and testing knowledge, in return you'll have the opportunity to work in a friendly and vibrant environment alongside other people who share your passion.' This role has a focus on Test Management and the skill set is more functional.

You will be managing multiple projects at program level, and whilst you will be aware of test automation this is not the critical component.

Ko koe'tēnei | About you

To be successful in this role, you will bring:

  • Manage resource planning and estimate work effort
  • Design and maintain testing outcomes for critical projects and programmes
  • Collaborate and communicate with stakeholders eg, QA team, development team, vendors, projects & programmes
  • Communicate test progress, test results and other relevant information
  • Keep current with delivery lifecycles and testing methodologies
