Position Description

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 were the cornerstones 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 1968 and located in the heart of the Waikato’s dairying region, our Reporoa site has grown its capability to process 2.5 million litres of milk per day.

You will also get the chance to showcase your strong technical skillset as well as leadership expertise while managing site contractors and the shut management programme. Utilizing your strategic deployment experience you’ll develop and embed standard asset management systems, working closely with site and factory leaders, and the wider site maintenance team. With your passion for projects, safety, asset management and maintenance, you will drive operational excellence and improvement through proven change leadership to create an environment where everyone has the chance to be their best.

About you
