The Role

Start your engineering design career with the Top Graduate Employer for R&D/Manufacturing in NZ!

What’s on offer for 2026…

We have just 2 opportunities in our central Dunedin design teams starting 19 January 2026 for naturally curious, driven graduates with the initiative and desire to apply learning and skills to the design of premium cooking products. 

Our Product Development world is jam-packed with meaningful work designed for a changing world. We have global scale engineering and manufacturing systems that create unique learning opportunities from design concept through to production. Combined with strong leadership, mentoring and diverse hands-on work, you’ll build a strong core skills base for wherever you take your career.

In our Design Centres we offer stimulating work and positive learning environments.  Beyond loving the day-to-day work, grads enjoy our collaborative working style and continuous learning experience. 

“This is a great industry to learn in. There are heaps of opportunities, and there’s a real openness here to new ways, ideas and options – different perspectives are valued; it’s collaborative and outcome oriented. Everyone works together, and the culture is one of really valuing sustainability – everybody is really passionate and driven to improve.” 

In Dunedin, our teams are designing the next generation of Cooking and Dishwashing products. You probably already know some of our products – wouldn’t you love to be part of the team enhancing them even more as we continue to work on our goals of sustainability and premium customer experience on the global stage?

Do you meet the brief? 

We are looking for a diverse group of applicants who demonstrate: 

For these specific teams you will need to be on target to complete your studies this year towards an Undergraduate or Postgraduate Degree in Mechanical Engineering, and ideally you are excited about the ongoing innovation and science in cooking systems and structures. 

What’s on offer…

So much! 

We also offer a competitive salary, generous Kiwisaver or a Student Loan payback scheme, discounted medical insurance, life and disability insurance, and multiple corporate discounts with banks and retailers. Our Dunedin design centre is based in a shopping centre, with plenty of food options nearby, and many of our people enjoy an active commute on bikes or walking/running. We have lots of social clubs and fun stuff happening all the time and being a cooking design centre, there’s also a lot of food coming out of our labs and kitchens to keep you nourished.

Applications close Sunday 20 July, 2025.
