This means no matter what business unit you're in, or what stage of life you're at, there's a good chance we've got something to suit you.


About the Opportunity


The Portfolio Management Office (PMO) within Fonterra's Technical Excellence function plays a critical role in delivering the infrastructure and operational capability needed to achieve some of Fonterra's most important strategic business goals.

We are looking for 2 x Design Managers to lead our Remediation and Growth portfolios.

Reporting to our Portfolio Manager (Remediation & Growth), the Design Manager for Remediation will be responsible for managing the design development of our refurbishment projects, whereas the Design Manager for Growth will be responsible for new capital projects nationwide, from concept to detailed designs, ensuring that all design reviews are completed, and any changes are strictly controlled.


You will be accountable for managing design with tight constraints, coordinating the design team, attending engineering reviews, and tracking the design schedule.

In addition, you will provide general engineering support, manage stakeholder expectations, build relationships across the wider business, and ensure compliance with quality and safety standards throughout the design lifecycle.

You will be based in Hamilton from our London St Office and be willing to travel nationally as required.

About You

  • Experience in Engineering Design and Capital Projects
  • Qualification in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Chemical or Process) and Project Management qualification, preferably in PMP but not a requirement
  • Excellent collaboration, influencing, and problemsolving skills
