Te Tūranga /About the role:
Our Te Aroha site in the Waikato is one of Silver Fern Farms most modern and up to date processing facilities in NZ, employing up to 440 people at the peak of the season.
We are looking for a motivated and skilled Maintenance Electrician to join our engineering team, responsible for the hands-on day to day mechanical repairs and maintenance within our strong, stable and progressive engineering team.
Our site operates both day and evening shifts. Our team of Maintenance teams are required to work to a roster covering production hours which run between 6am and 3am Monday to Friday and often include overtime during the day on Saturdays so flexibility to business needs – or understanding of this is important – but in return we will provide you with good $, some great training /development and a stellar team of work mates who not only want to see you succeed – but will support you along the way.

Ōu Pūkenga /About You:
Previous experience in FMCG or transferrable production engineering environments would be an advantage, but the key is the ability to work as part of a team, to identify faults and use analytical and problem-solving skills to provide top level service to the processing plant. Working in a sole charge capacity sometimes, all the while being entrenched as part of a maintenance team, candidates will have good interpersonal skills and an attitude for getting stuck in to get the job done as well as thinking outside of the box – we appreciate and encourage new ideas and thought processes about how we can collaborate across our site to ensure the get to the root cause of issues and fix it right – first time.
The successful applicant will possess the following skills and attributes:

Relevant Trades Qualification and Full NZ EWRB Electrical registration
Good knowledge of sound electrical principals and repairs and maintenance procedures on a large industrial processing site – or a passion to learn in this environment.
Exposure to PLC and VSDs in a past role
Ability to analyse problems and implement effective solutions in a timely manner and communicate this with those around you.
Be self-motivated and capable of working both independently and within a tight knit team of engineering support
Organised, with the ability to plan and prioritise workload in a challenging engineering environment and lead by example from the front.
Desire to keep learning and upskill – be this in a leadership scope or dual trading into refrigeration or even project design.

You will have the opportunity to be involved in projects and installation of new site equipment as well as a wide range of electrical applications across the site. If you are interested in using your skills on a large industrial food processing site, and like the idea of working for one of New Zealand's largest food exporters, we look forward to hearing from you.

Tono Mai /To Apply:
With an exponential amount of growth going on within each of our sites and a focus on CAPEX and People there has never been a better time to join the Silver Fern Farms Team -
