You will possess a personal commitment to safety and teamwork, along with a strong desire to develop your career, while contributing to the success of the operation. This is a small team in a critical area of the plant, so flexibility is also a requirement.

At NZAS, you will be rewarded with an attractive salary along with many other employee benefits. Working within a dynamic and friendly culture, in an organisation renowned for its world class safety standards and high quality product, this is a rare opportunity not to be missed.
