Te Pohue, New Zealand Pan Pac Full time

**About the Role**

In your role as Reliability Engineer, you will report directly to the Lumber Engineering Manager and play a key leadership role within the division. You will lead a team of 7, including 4 members from the planning department and 3 Engineering Technicians. In the absence of the Engineering Manager, you will step into the Deputy Engineering Manager role. Your primary focus will be ensuring and continuously improving plant performance, while managing financial budgets. You will oversee the planning, execution, improvement and optimisation of all maintenance activities, maintenance processes and maintenance systems ensuring Lumber productivity is maintained.

This role is based at our Whirinaki site, located 15 minutes north of Napier. This is a day position and is usually Monday - Friday, 8.00am - 4.30pm. However, this role will involve some Sunday work, typically one in three to provide regular interaction with maintenance contractors and access to the plant whilst shut down to enable reliability work to be carried out. When a Sunday is worked, the previous Friday will be taken off instead (or an alternative day by agreement).

**We offer**
- Secure employment
- A supportive learning and development environment
- Reward and recognition
- Wellbeing programme
- Free life insurance for you and discounted life insurance for your partner
- Subsidised medical insurance for you and your family
- Discounted petrol
- Retail discounts

- Relocation costs (if applicable)
- Family friendly events
