Are you a recent engineering graduate with a passion for technology, innovation, and solving real-world problems? Ready to roll up your sleeves, learn from the best, and build systems that move the world? This could be the perfect opportunity for you.

We’re on the lookout for a Graduate Automation Engineer to join our awesome automation team in Auckland. You’ll get hands-on experience working on cutting-edge automation and baggage handling systems, learning from experienced engineers, and contributing to projects that matter.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Getting stuck into the design, development, and testing of smart automated systems and processes.

  • Learning PLC programming using Rockwell, Siemens, and Omron platforms.
  • Working with project teams and clients to bring ideas to life.
  • Taking part in onsite commissioning activities (yes, this might include a bit of travel – cool, right?).
  • Supporting and improving automation systems already in action.
  • Contributing to continuous improvement, safety, and quality initiatives.
  • End to end quality automation solutions

  • Monday to Friday business hours generally, although this role does include a lot of travel globally and domestically so if you want a role where you get to see the world this is for you! Travel is planned and all expenses paid.
  • You must be prepared to work some night shifts as we do sometimes have onsite work that requires work at night but this time will be given back in lieu.
  • Hybrid and flexible working – after your 6 months settle in period you will be able to work from home 2 days a week, with mandatory office days being Monday and Wednesday
