Kōrero mō te Tūranga - About the Role
We are seeking a technical assessor with a strong background in veterinary science to join the Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines (ACVM) team.
The team is responsible for managing risks to animal welfare, human health, trade and biosecurity associated with the import, manufacturing, use and sales of veterinary medicines and other agricultural compounds as defined by the ACVM Act 1997.
In this position you will be primarily responsible for undertaking the evaluation of scientific data, and preparing regulatory reports using risk management principles for the purposes of authorising agricultural compounds under the ACVM Act 1997.
Mōu - About You
**We are seeking an enthusiastic team member who has**:

- A degree in agricultural, biological or chemical sciences or equivalent degree in environmental or food science. A post-graduate qualification in a relevant area and/or relevant experience within industry is desirable.
- Knowledge or background in agricultural compounds that can reduce greenhouse gases via pathways such as methane inhibition would be an asset.
- You will have an excellent working knowledge and understanding of the concepts and practices for information gathering, organising and communication.
- Operate at the technical level required with mínimal training in a short timeframe.
- You must have excellent attention to detail and be able to quickly adapt and think on the run.
- You will be confident and able to communicate well in a wide range of environments and have strong and established technical writing abilities as report writing is a key part of the role.

Mō tō mātou Rōpū - About the Team
The team is currently made up 7 full time technical staff who all have a passion for creating and maintaining availability of Agricultural Chemicals and Vertebrate Toxic Agents that are safe and efficacious for use in crop protection and pest control. The team is diverse in terms of age group, ethnicity and scientific background; all bringing their own skillset and experience to strengthen the collective team.
The majority of the Agricultural Chemicals and VTAs Assessment Team is Wellington-based, however some members do reside across the motu, re-joining the team in Wellington for short periods throughout the year. Because of the diverse nature of the team both personally and geographically, the team is eager for an engaged colleague who is passionate and committed to contributing to a strong cohesive team.
The team members work hard as they see real value in the work that they do both as part of the wider MPI organisation and for New Zealand as a whole. This is an opportunity to be an integral part of a team that is doing important and rewarding work, but who also like to catch up occasionally for a bit social interaction outside of work, often with the wider ACVM team.
Mō te Manatū Ahu Matua - About MPI
The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) partners with New Zealand's food and fibre sector to be the world's most sustainable provider of high-value food and primary products.
Ngā hua o te mahi i te Manatū Ahu Matua - Benefits of working at MPI

- Reduced premiums for Group Healthcare Schemes
- Comprehensive 3-day MPI Induction Programme

Wā Mahi Ngāwari - Flexible Working

Kua rite koe mō tēnei mahi whaitake? - Are you ready to make a difference?
We are committed to being a good partner under Te Tiriti o Waitangi which includes working closely with iwi, hapū, whānau and hāpori.
In your cover letter we'd like to know about you, your values, your whakapapa; your interest and motivations for this role; the abilities, strengths, personal attributes and diverse perspectives you will bring to the role and this organisation, which may have also been gained outside of the workforce.
Applications close at midnight on Friday 30th August 2024
