JOB CENTER for migrant workers

Silver Fern Farms Takapau, based in Central Hawkes Bay - and the largest of our sites in the North Island - have an outstanding opportunity for a highly motivated and skilled tradesperson to join our team as a Services Engineer.

The Services Engineer will have a main focus on day-to-day operation of the refrigeration services on site and as required, perform basic plant repair and maintenance within a solid team of engineering trades people on roster.

Successful candidates will ideally have previous experience in a Services Engineering |Refrigeration role or be a skilled Maintenance Engineer with a passion in this sector, who won't just 'do the job', but to use their analytical and problem-solving skills to provide top level service to the processing plant.

Working as part of a maintenance team, candidates will have good interpersonal skills and an attitude for getting stuck in to get the job done.

We are looking for the following skills and attributes:
Relevant trades qualification - ideally with ENChem Level 3/4 (or a desire to obtain this certificate)
Excellent knowledge of sound engineering principals and repairs and maintenance procedures on a large industrial processing site
Ability to analyse problems and implement effective solutions on a timely basis
Be self-motivated and capable of working both independently and within a tight knit team of engineering support trades staff.
Organised, with the ability to plan and prioritise workload in a challenging engineering environment
Desire to upskill - train or even dual trade - we have a path forward for our people.
If you are interested in using your mechanical 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.

This is a great next step for a maintenance engineer wanting to upskill and grow while really mastering their trade and continuing to evolve with the industry as it takes some epic steps in the coming years.
