We are looking for a talented technical professional based in Kaiapoi, where we operate a factory, product development and warehousing & logistics facilities and maintain our head office. This is an important coordination role in which the core purpose will be to continue an existing review of packaging materials in support of our NPD team. This will include all recipe changes and generating product labelling specifications and loading and maintaining these on our specification management system (Spec Right). This role will support the NPD and wider technical function with paperwork associated with our NPD processes and changes to current products within the business.

A relevant tertiary qualification such as food/packaging technology/food processing and packaging or a scientific background
Basic understanding of food labelling
Ability to manage projects and solve problems within a given timeframe
Excellent attention to detail and highly organised work habits
Ability to work methodically with multiple sources of information

You will have a real can-do attitude and enjoy being part of a diverse wider team. Your ability to work methodically with multiple sources of information will be the primary factor that will ensure your success in this role. Whilst relevant industry experience [e.g. within a fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) environment] is desirable, you will always have the support of the rest of the technical team in Kaiapoi and Auckland, as well as in Australia, with whom you may engage with from time to time.
This is a great opportunity to make a strong contribution, and develop yourself across the wide range of products, packaging materials and technology here at Hellers.
