Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) Full time

About MPI

The Ministry for Primary Industries plays a vital role in helping to seize export opportunities for New Zealand's primary industries, improve sector productivity, ensure the food we produce is safe, increase sustainable resource use, and protect New Zealand from biological risk.

Veterinarians play a key part in the work MPI does within New Zealand and across the global market. We're passionate about finding skilled professionals who share our vision and can contribute to achieving our goals.

Our team of veterinarians provides valuable technical expertise and is recognised as trusted advisers at MPI, and in the wider public service. Whether you're an early career vet or have a broad portfolio of both technical and non-technical experience, there's a place for you at MPI.

About Verification Services:

We provide a range of food safety and biosecurity verification and certification services to processing companies across New Zealand, including the meat, seafood, game, and dairy industries. Our work encompasses farms, abattoirs, meat and fish packhouses, cold storage facilities, and other specialized premises processing animal products.

As a veterinarian with MPI Verification Services, you'll have the opportunity to work on diverse and challenging projects in the food safety and biosecurity sectors, making a real difference to the safety and quality of our agricultural products.

Our Vision:

We strive to be a world-class regulator, providing innovative solutions to help New Zealand's primary industries grow and thrive. We aim to make a positive impact on the lives of New Zealanders and the communities we serve.

Why do people like working here?

We offer a supportive and inclusive work environment that fosters collaboration and teamwork. Our roles cater to individuals from clinical practice, those looking for a return to work/practice after time out or new graduates wanting to start their careers with us.

We believe that the growth and development of our team members is crucial to the success of both our people and the primary sectors we support. That's why we provide comprehensive in-service training aimed at enhancing your technical and leadership skills.

You'll receive six to eight weeks of technical training prior to being warranted under the relevant legislation. We also have ongoing, on-site training, mentoring, and technical support for you in your new role.

Benefits of working with MPI:

We offer a range of benefits, including a structured working week, paid overtime, unsociable hours compensation, shift allowance, and penal rates if applicable. We also provide additional benefits including membership of the NZVA or appropriate alternative, annual payment for the Annual practicing certificate, wellness benefit for employees, reduced premiums for Group Healthcare Schemes, and relocation assistance will be considered for successful applicants.

What you'll bring to the role:

We are seeking veterinarians who excel at building relationships with people and share our passion for supporting the success of New Zealand's primary industries.

As a member of the Verification Services team, you will collaborate with a diverse group of individuals from both within MPI and external businesses across New Zealand. We value individuals who embody integrity, trust, ethics, values, resilience, adaptability, and openness.

To be eligible for these positions, candidates must be registered as a Veterinarian in New Zealand, or be able to obtain registration with the Veterinary Council of New Zealand. Additionally, applicants must hold the right to work in New Zealand or be eligible to obtain it.
