About the Role


As a Manufacturing Support Officer, you'll be at the centre of our Tauriko manufacturing operation, supporting the flow of information between Production, Distribution and Supply Chain teams.

  • Assisting with continuous improvement and lean manufacturing initiatives


About You


You'll enjoy working with systems, data and people in equal measure and have experience supporting a manufacturing, production or operational environment. Highly organised and proactive, you'll thrive in a fast-paced setting and be confident managing multiple priorities while maintaining a high level of accuracy.


Ideally, you'll have:


  • At least 1 year of experience in a manufacturing, production support, operational coordination or similar role, supported by relevant prior work experience
  • A qualification in Operations Management, Manufacturing, Supply Chain or a related discipline
  • Advanced capability using ERP systems such as JDE, SAP or similar

Why Join Us?


You'll be part of a collaborative team supporting one of New Zealand's most advanced manufacturing facilities, with the opportunity to make a genuine impact on operational performance and continuous improvement. As part of the Fletcher Building Group, you'll benefit from an Employee Education Fund for you and your dependants, generous parental leave, KiwiSaver contributions matched up to 4%, employee welfare support, a wide range of retail discounts, and the backing of a stable, inclusive business that genuinely invests in its people and their development.
