Our Co-operative

Te Mātāpuna toa takitini

Fonterra's strength is in the collective
We are a Co-operative created and owned by Aotearoa New Zealand dairy farmers.

Our rich history is built on farming families working together to share the natural goodness of our dairy with the world.


Collaboration, innovation, and passion was the cornerstone of our creation and something we continue to value today through our commitment to care for the land, our animals, and every drop of milk.

Our milk creates goodness through nutritious food with safe, quality ingredients that are loved here in New Zealand and around the world.


About the opportunity

Established in 1967, our Te Rapa site is one of Fonterra's largest manufacturing sites and produces whole and skim milk, instant whole milk powders along with cream, butter, pure dairy milk fat, cream cheese and frozen cream products.

At 41 hectares, the site makes enough product to fill 48.5 shipping containers every day


As a Fleet Services Technician at our Te Rapa site, you'll be responsible for automotive electrical diagnostics as well as mechanical servicing and repairs on our modern milk tanker/trailer fleet.

You'll be key to ensuring our vehicles meet Fonterra's high standards as well as all legal, health and safety requirements.

You will have the opportunity to work in a modern facility with OEM tooling and diagnostics. We know the best equipment needs the best people looking after it - practical and efficient problem solvers.


As an experienced diesel mechanic, you'll be confident identifying faults both with breakdowns on the road and during day-to-day workshop repairs.

Your proactive approach will also see you driving continuous improvement initiatives across the workshop to improve tanker reliability.

This role typically operates on a 4 days on, 4 days off roster with 12 hour shifts (typically 5am-5pm or 10am-10pm).

With a strong learning and development culture, this is an exceptional opportunity to join NZ's largest Co-operative to expand your knowledge and skills.

We want to hear from you if you have:

  • Solid heavy vehicle/diesel mechanic experience, ideally on Volvo
