Job description
About the Job:Extrusion Technicians (Pet Food Manufacturing)Location: Te Puke, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand (Overseas/On-site)
Employment Type: Full-time | Shift work (as rostered)

About the Role:As an Extrusion Operator, you will operate and monitor our pet food production lines—extrusion as your primary line, with support across batching, loading, and packing. You will help produce safe, high-quality products at planned output rates by following SOPs, GMP/HACCP, and Health & Safety requirements. This role is hands-on and focused on routine plant operation, in-process checks, accurate records, basic equipment care, and housekeeping.

What You’ll Do:Production Line Operation & Process Control (All Lines):
  • Run routine start-ups, changeovers, operations, and shutdowns on assigned lines (extrusion primary; batching/loading/packing as trained), using SOPs and checklists.
  • Monitor process parameters (e.g., temperature, moisture, pressure, speed, weights, metal detector checks) and make routine SOP-approved adjustments within limits; escalate non-routine changes to the Production Lead / Shift Supervisor.
  • Maintain steady material flow and correct batch/recipe sequencing from raw materials through to finished goods.
  • Weigh/measure and load ingredients, premixes, and packaging materials based on issued formulations, pick lists, and work orders.
  • Operate batching automation and/or manual batching steps as trained, ensuring correct sequencing and traceability.
  • Move raw materials, WIP, and finished goods between areas using pallet jacks or forklifts (if licensed and authorised).
  • Support packing and palletising: cartons, pallet stacking, labeling, and pallet wrap to standard.
  • Coordinate with Warehouse/Logistics to prevent line stoppages and support efficient changeovers (flushing/cleaning steps + documentation).
Product Quality Monitoring:
  • Perform in-process checks on shape, size, color, density, texture, coating coverage, pack seals, coding/expiry, confirming products meet standards.
  • Complete inline checks (metal detector challenges, weight checks, seal integrity, code legibility) and record accurately.
  • Collect samples as required and coordinate with QA; follow QA/Lead instructions for routine corrections and rework.
  • Report and escalate non-conformities, foreign matter risks, mislabeling, or abnormal readings immediately; follow segregation/hold/rework instructions.
Basic Equipment Care & Housekeeping (5S/GMP):
  • Perform operator care only: cleaning, pre-start checks, visual inspections, and simple adjustments within training scope (technical repairs handled by Maintenance).
  • Complete pre-start checks (guards, e-stops, sensors, foreign body controls) and report issues before production.
  • Maintain clean, orderly, pest-safe areas in line with GMP/HACCP, allergen control, and 5S.
  • Report equipment faults/noise/vibration promptly; assist during minor stoppages and restart as directed.
Health, Safety & Compliance:
  • Follow company H&S policies and the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.
  • Use PPE correctly and follow LOTO, guarding, confined space, and other line-specific safety procedures.
  • Stop work for unsafe conditions and report immediately.
  • Report hazards/near misses/incidents and participate in corrective/preventive actions.
  • Follow food safety, hygiene, allergen, and contamination-control procedures aligned with GMP/HACCP and customer/market requirements.
Documentation & Team Collaboration:
  • Record outputs, downtime, CCP/parameter logs, metal detector checks, weight checks, cleaning records, and traceability forms accurately and on time.
  • Work closely with Operators, QA, Warehouse, and Supervisors to maintain smooth handovers and meet output targets.
  • Participate in shift handovers (issues, actions, holds, upcoming changeovers).
Ad hoc:
  • Support other tasks as assigned to meet changing operational needs.

What We’re Looking For:Education:
  • Graduate of Engineering course preferred.
Experience:
  • Experience in extrusion machines in food, pet food, or FMCG manufacturing preferred.
  • Minimum 2 year extrusion experience
  • Forklift licence is an advantage (must be licensed and authorised to operate onsite).

Why Join Us:
  • Be part of a growing pet food manufacturing operation in Te Puke, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.
  • Work in a safety- and quality-driven environment with clear SOPs and training support.
  • Stable, hands-on role with exposure across multiple production lines.

Apply Now:If you have extrusion experience and enjoy operating high-performing production lines with strong safety and quality standards, we’d like to hear from you.

Apply with your CV and include a short note about your extrusion experience and shift availability.
