Diagnose and resolve automation faults, PLC program errors, sequence issues, and equipment breakdowns to minimise downtime and improve reliability.
Lead root cause analysis (RCA) investigations and implement sustainable corrective actions to prevent recurring issues.
Support preventative and predictive maintenance strategies, planned shutdowns, and automation-related maintenance activities to maximise plant availability.
Contribute to automation upgrades, equipment installations, commissioning, and plant modification activities that enhance operational performance and efficiency.
Maintain technical documentation, system backups, and compliance records while supporting maintenance planning and reliability improvement initiatives.
Partner with production, maintenance, and engineering teams to identify improvement opportunities and deliver continuous improvement outcomes.
Provide technical support to the Taupo site Automation Engineer as required, generally delivered remotely, including troubleshooting assistance, program reviews and backup on automation-related issues.

What You'll Bring

5-7+ years' experience in an industrial manufacturing environment with a strong focus on automation, process control, and plant reliability.
Qualification in Electrical Engineering, Automation Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline, together with current Electrical Registration.
Proven experience with Allen-Bradley and Siemens PLCs, including programming, troubleshooting, fault finding, and system optimisation.
Strong knowledge of industrial automation, instrumentation, SCADA, HMI, and process control systems.
Demonstrated ability to diagnose and resolve complex automation, control system, and equipment performance issues within a manufacturing environment.
Strong root cause analysis (RCA), problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills, with a focus on reducing downtime and improving operational performance.
A proactive approach to continuous improvement, preventative maintenance, and operational efficiency.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across production, maintenance, and engineering teams.
A strong commitment to health, safety, and compliance within a manufacturing environment.

Why Join Laminex?

Join a market-leading manufacturer backed by Fletcher Building, where you'll have the opportunity to make a real impact on the performance and reliability of a busy manufacturing operation. In return, you'll enjoy a competitive salary, ongoing professional development, a supportive team culture, and the stability of a well-established business, all while working regular Monday to Friday hours that support a healthy work-life balance.

Studies indicate that some females and minority groups may hesitate to apply unless they meet all the criteria. If this role interests you, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every requirement.

Our teams thrive on diversity, embracing various nationalities, languages, religions, customs, and lifestyles. We are proud of our diversity and see it as one of the things that make us better together.
