Job Description

Description


At Laminex, we're passionate about creating products and experiences that help New Zealanders build, renovate and design better spaces. Backed by more than 90 years of expertise, we're a trusted name in decorative surfaces and building products, with a strong focus on safety, innovation, and developing our people.


We're looking for a Training & Capability Lead to help build capability across our manufacturing teams. Based in Taupo, this is a hands-on, site-based role where you'll work closely with frontline leaders and employees to ensure training is delivered effectively, skills are developed, and our people have the capability they need to succeed.


What you'll be doing


  • Coordinate and drive training activities across the manufacturing site
  • Partner with Production Managers, Team Leaders and Supervisors to identify capability needs
  • Ensure training plans, competency frameworks and skills matrices are maintained and delivered
  • Lead our Manufacturing Excellence programme
  • Support onboarding and training for new employees
  • Track training completion, compliance and competency requirements
  • Facilitate practical, on-the-job learning and development initiatives
  • Work with frontline teams to embed safe work practices and operational excellence
  • Continuously improve training processes and identify capability gaps


What we're looking for


You don't necessarily need a formal L&D background. What's more important is your ability to work alongside operational teams, build relationships, and help people develop their skills.


We're interested in people who bring:


  • Experience in a manufacturing, production, warehousing, engineering, trades or operational environment
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills
  • The ability to influence and work effectively with employees at all levels
  • Experience coordinating training, competency programs, workforce development or operational improvement initiatives
  • Strong organisational and administration skills
  • A practical, hands-on approach and a genuine passion for developing people


Why join Laminex?


You'll play a key role in developing the capability of our manufacturing workforce, working closely with frontline leaders to make a visible impact on site performance. You'll join a supportive and collaborative team culture within a business that invests in safety, development and continuous improvement, while also gaining access to a range of Fletcher Building benefits and career development opportunities.


Apply now and help shape the future capability of our Laminex manufacturing teams.
