People and Culture Lead

There are no two ways about it, all manufacturing plants are reliant on their people. Whether on the factory floor producing or packing quality products, maintaining plant & machinery, improving quality systems or auditing health & safety processes; every cog in the wheel must be recruited, managed appropriately, listened to, counselled, developed, paid on time and kept safe.The person we seek will be an integral part of a small, but close knit NZ Leadership Team. Leading from the front with your passion for people and culture, it is vital that not only are you comfortable with the Human Resources function, but you are flexible around supporting various shifts and can move your focus operationally when required in order to support your peers on the Leadership Team.
