The Client: Our client is an NZ owned and operated company that imports and distributes quality brands of lubricants and related products for industrial and marine use across the country. With a diverse portfolio range, exclusively imported products, and exceptional services to create bespoke products for their customers' unique needs, our client is needing a Technical Advisor to support the development of existing and new lubricant products.

  • Documentation – Maintain and create safety data sheets (SDS) and technical data sheets (TDS)
  • Organisation – Coordinate blending activities with external laboratories, maintain MPI renewals and creation, and reporting heat transfer results to customers.

This is a Monday-Friday role, working 8.00am to 5.00pm and will require overnight trips a few times a year to visit various customer sites across NZ.

You, the Candidate: With this role being in line to taking on the Senior Technical Manager role over the next 12-18 months, our client is in need of an analytical expert with exceptional interpersonal and communication skills. Confidence in problem solving, recommending innovative alternatives, and experimenting with new ideas will be critical.

The ideal candidate will also possess the following skills and attributes:

  • Knowledge and understanding of concepts and constraints of finished product development
  • Technical understanding of process development
  • Familiarity with various regulatory requirements for different customers
  • Knowledge of the capabilities in internally manufactured product and offshore blending

What's in it for you? Our client is offering a competitive salary with a range of additional benefits including incentive bonuses and coverage of Southern Cross + Life Insurance plans after 6 months of tenure with the business.
