Global Focus Leading World Class Capital Equipment Design and Manufacturer Newly built World Class facility and Working Environment THE COMPANY Wyma is a world leader in the design and manufacture of post-harvest vegetable and fruit handling equipment. Wyma is based in Christchurch, where it has recently moved into a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, with operations in Australia, UK, and Czech Republic. Wyma has consistently continued to grow and develop their business over the past 25 years. Within their industry sector, they are recognised as being a world leader in innovation and delivery of innovative high-technology equipment and solutions. Their brand is highly regarded, and with their strong R&D focus to keep their products at the forefront of the market, their products are regularly rated amongst the best in the market. Wyma was further strengthened in May 2023 when it was acquired by a global Agritech organisation, headquartered in New Zealand. They design and supply products and services to Agricultural customers with a focus on the meat, dairy, grain, and horticulture sectors. In 2024, MHM Automation and Wyma became part of the global Fortifi Food Processing Solutions group, together with our sister companies Bettcher and Frontmatec. Collectively as Fortifi, they can improve a single line or automate an entire food processing plant, anywhere in the world. THE ROLE The core focus of this role is the continued design of world-class products that meet business targets whilst creating a fun, high-performing, motivated project team (3-5 people). Technically, you have the skill and expertise to know what design work can be completed in the time available, that it is robust, safe, and easily manufactured. From a leadership perspective, you will support and offer guidance to Engineers and Graduate Engineers to enable them to perform successfully at all levels. This is a key "hands-on" senior technical design role, which places a strong emphasis on keeping products at the forefront of the global market. You will be part of a wider team consisting of mechanical design, R&D, control systems, and engineering support staff. Technically, you will have a strong focus on the design of the products from the ground up, recognizing any potential design flaws before and during the build. In addition to your own hands-on design responsibilities, you will, on a project-by-project basis, supervise a small team of mechanical design personnel, estimate project staffing needs, and schedule and assign work. You will prepare work plans, review and approve mechanical investigations and studies. Your leadership will drive high-quality work plans, successful implementation of mechanical components, team support and training, and project performance. SKILLS The personal fit is very important for this role. We need you to be a person of confidence and a willing motivated mentor/leader of your design team. Ideally, you will have several of the following attributes: Proven ability to lead, develop and mentor fellow Design staff. A practical and pragmatic approach to design, combined with a commercial understanding of what tasks need to be undertaken at the right time. Strong 3D modelling (Inventor, Solid Works, Pro-E or similar) with exposure to FEA. Strong mathematical skills. Design of machinery and/or materials handling equipment. Exposure to the R&D, pointing to successful design of next generation products. Demonstrated ability to design for manufacture. Sound understanding of engineering principles.
