2023 Graduates - Food/Textile/Consumer Sciences (Jan 2023)

Our Graduate programme holds nothing back. Grads work hands-on in project teams, innovating and influencing real product design. Deep-diving into Product Development offers real-time learning from some of the best in industry, and we’re stoked to have you there – grads bring fresh perspective that means we learn from you, too. Some of our best ideas have come from grads, and some of their best career stories have come from us. 

Beyond loving the day-to-day work, grads enjoy our collaborative working style and continuous learning experience. “This is a great industry to learn in. There are heaps of opportunities, and there’s a real openness here to new ways, ideas and options – different perspectives are valued; it’s collaborative and outcome oriented. Everyone works together, and the culture is one of really valuing sustainability – everybody is really passionate and driven to improve.” 

This year, we have opportunities in Auckland (Refrigeration and Laundry) and Dunedin (Cooking and Dishwashing) as graduate Product Evaluators. Our Product Development world is jam-packed with meaningful work designed for a changing world. We have global scale engineering and manufacturing systems and labs that create unique learning opportunities from design concept through to production. Combined with strong leadership, mentoring and diverse hands-on work, you’ll build a strong core skills base for wherever you take your career. 

As these are graduate roles, you’ll be due to complete, or have completed within the last two years, your studies towards a relevant Undergraduate or Postgraduate Degree (Mechanical Engineering, Electrical / Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Textile Science, Food Science or Consumer Science).  

To be considered as a Grad Product Evaluator we're looking for curious food/textile/consumer science graduates who demonstrate initiative and passion for great customer outcomes.  You should also enjoy ongoing learning by researching and applying practical hands-on skills to test out a range of technical solutions that can be seen in our future product designs.  We look for great communicators with excellent problem solving skills and ability to contribute positively in a team environment.   

We will be taking grads into both Auckland and Dunedin and you will be asked to indicate your preference in your application.
