About us | He kupu mō mātou

Fonterra’s IT Engineering Chapter brings together specialist engineering Practices that work across our business to deliver reliable, secure and high-quality technology. Our Practices provide deep technical capability, consistent standards and ways of working, while enabling our people to work flexibly across products, platforms and strategic programmes.

The Test Practice is part of the IT Engineering Chapter and plays a key role in engineering quality into the software delivery lifecycle. Working alongside our other Engineering Practices and business-aligned teams, we build capability, promote modern engineering practices and use automation and emerging technologies to continuously improve how we design, build, test and run technology across Fonterra.

About the Opportunity | Mō tēnei tūranga

Quality is increasingly something we engineer in, not something we test for at the end.

As a Test Analyst - Manufacturing, you’ll help bring that thinking to life across Fonterra’s manufacturing technology landscape. Working as part of our Test Practice and alongside the wider IT Engineering community, you’ll help ensure changes are reliable, resilient and ready for production.

You’ll combine hands-on testing with a focus on continuous improvement, identifying risks and defects early while helping us increase automation, strengthen engineering practices and evolve our approach to quality.

With exposure to a broad range of manufacturing applications and initiatives, this is an opportunity to grow your expertise while helping shape the future of testing and quality engineering at Fonterra.

About You | Mōu

You bring hands-on testing experience and are comfortable working across a varied application landscape, quickly getting up to speed with new systems and processes. Experience in a manufacturing environment would be an advantage, but we’re equally interested in your ability to learn, adapt and apply strong testing practices.

You have an excellent understanding of Software Engineering test tools and practices, including experience with AQM (previously ALM), and a strong understanding of the Agile framework and mindset.

You'll also bring experience managing internal customer relationships, building rapport and trust with both technical teams and manufacturing stakeholders. Your testing expertise will help ensure the applications Fonterra's manufacturing teams rely on are ready to support day-to-day operations.
