Whakauae Research Services is an indigenous research institute and the only iwi-owned Māori health research centre in New Zealand. It specializes in Kaupapa Māori research, health service evaluation, and public policy analysis aimed at advancing health equity and improving wellbeing outcomes for Māori communities. Headquartered in Whanganui, New Zealand, the organization collaborates closely with tribal, academic, and governmental partners to translate evidence into actionable health solutions.

Our client is a third-generation, family-owned NZ business that has been manufacturing here for 75 years. They make a wide range of specialist products, so there’s plenty to get your head around - rubber and matting, custom ramps, sports and recreational products, and more.

They’re looking for a Production Supervisor to run the day-to-day production team and keep things moving.

You’ll be on the floor, working alongside the team, organising the work, keeping an eye on quality and sorting things out when they don’t go to plan. You’ll also be expected to keep standards up, give people direction and look for better ways of doing things.

You could come from trades, construction, manufacturing or another hands-on environment. If you’ve led a crew, know how the work gets done and are ready to take on more responsibility, your background could transfer well here.

You don’t need to know their products on day one. You do need to be someone who wants to learn them properly - because the longer-term opportunity is to grow into the Production Manager role.

It’s a small team, a practical environment and a Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm role. All based in Whanganui. The role will involve working onsite, as well as travelling out of town for jobs when required (at around 3-5 days per month).

If this sounds like your sort of role, contact Genna on 021 537 875 or [email protected] for the job description and a chat.
