Because this is a project focused role, we are hiring on a 12-month fixed term, covering the rollout of two remaining beef sites (in Hawkes Bay and Balclutha), and will then support deployment to our Venison sites near the end of 2025.

This person can be based from almost anywhere in NZ, however, there is a requirement to travel for this role, approximately 7-10 days per month, likely in block of 4-5 days at a time. Most of our project cutovers occur on weekends, so there will need to be work completed on Saturday and Sundays.

  • Join an established and successful project, work with a passionate and skilled project team who have already delivered successful deployments across several plants in the network.
  • Develop your expertise in MES systems, SQL, and configuration tools.
  • Flexible work that will see you regularly travel across NZ.

To be successful in this role, you will bring a combination of technical expertise, strong communication skills, and a passion for solving problems. You will have excellent technical skills and be happy performing work in a practical setting in a manufacturing/processing facility.

You will have a good understanding of:

  • Systems analysis, troubleshooting, and support with a focus on MES or similar systems.
  • SQL and low-code development for application configuration and reporting.
  • Business analysis, data analysis, and solution design.
  • Application testing and release management.
  • Experience with systems documentation and managing change/enhancement requests.
  • Familiarity with key technologies such as Microsoft SQL, low-code tools, and reporting solutions.

This role would be a great fit for someone with a strong customer-service orientation who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment, and enjoys being able to see how their work contributes to commercial success.
