Auckland CBD, New Zealand Robert Half Technology Full time NZ$80,000 - NZ$120,000 per year

The Company

A global technology manufacturer that designs and delivers automation, grading, and material-handling systems used across agriculture and food-processing sectors. The company is growing rapidly across Australasia and invests heavily in R&D, digital integration, and customer-driven engineering. Their solutions help clients improve yield, minimise waste, and boost operational efficiency through precision automation.

The Role

This Pre-Sales Engineer role bridges the gap between clients, sales, and engineering.

Key Duties

  • Create detailed 2D CAD layouts and assist with conceptual 3D models for proposals.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to align system design with client requirements.
  • Conduct site assessments, validate specifications, and support system installations.
  • Partner with sales teams to communicate technical capabilities to prospective clients.
  • Coordinate internal project documentation, schedules, and delivery milestones.
  • Uphold safety and compliance standards across all project stages.
  • Participate in training and continuous improvement programs on new equipment and processes.

Experience Needed

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronics Engineering.
  • Prior experience in pre-sales, project, or applications engineering.
  • Strong proficiency with 2D CAD software (AutoCAD or similar).
  • Ability to interpret complex mechanical and electrical documentation.
  • Excellent communication skills with a client-facing mindset.
  • Organised, detail-oriented, and confident managing concurrent projects.
  • Experience within automation, manufacturing, or industrial equipment sectors preferred.

Bonus Skills

  • Exposure to 3D modelling or visualisation software.
  • Familiarity with MVVM-style frameworks or industrial UI systems.
  • Understanding of PLC integration, machine control, or IoT systems.
  • Hands-on knowledge of fabrication, installation, or commissioning processes.
  • Fluency in additional languages is advantageous.
