Job Location: / New Zealand
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Product Development Technologist. Reporting to our NPD Manager, this role is part of our passionate Innovation Team based at our Wiri, South Auckland manufacturing site (free onsite parking and delicious snacks included)
In this action-packed role, you’ll be leading multiple NPD projects mostly at our Wiri site focusing on bars and salty snacks but with exposure to our Papakura site where we make biscuits and crackers. You'll be taking projects from initiation through to commercialisation and project review, whilst working to take the wider team on the journey with you!
What would you be responsible for?
- Executing NPD and product quality improvement plans alongside managing the product development stage of projects, meeting budgets/timeframes
- Developing product formulations and prototype samples
- Liaising with suppliers, researching materials and technologies to meet project requirements
- Supporting alternative material work stream and SKU improvement projects for continuity of supply and value creation
- Identifying new technologies and ingredients relevant for future product development
- Leading factory trials and initial production runs, including reporting and validation
- Coaching and mentoring junior members of the team
- Preparing and signing off technical information/artwork, ensuring compliance with the FSANZ code and other requirements
- Product and systems maintenance
- 5+ years minimum product development experience in large scale food manufacturing facilities (previous experience in snack bar manufacture a bonus)
- Strong organisational and time management skills – in fact, these skills are so good, they make others green with envy!
- Excellent communication, influencing and relationship building skills, both with internal and external stakeholders
- Innovative and creative mindset– you’re not afraid to challenge the status quo and throw new ideas into the mix
- Resilience, positivity, and a solutions-focused approach – you see road bumps as a challenge, not a disaster!
- Flexibility and agility – our industry is ever changing, and you’ll be keen to move with it
- Self-motivation and personal drive – you’re a self-starter and take a proactive, eager approach to your learning
- Tertiary qualification, with Science or Food Technology endorsements desirable
- Sound knowledge of food safety standards code and awareness of allergens
What can you expect in return? In addition to a steady supply of snacks in the workplace, you can expect to be part of a supportive, purpose driven working environment where you'll feel valued, have flexible working options, commitment to our community partnerships and a focus on wellness (including annual wellbeing and volunteer days)
