Te Tūranga | About the Role:
This role provides critical IT support services across Silver Fern Farms' Pacific plant in Hastings.
You will be responsible for supporting a wide range of technologies including hardware, applications, site production systems, CCTV, physical and software security systems, telephony, and networking infrastructure.
While specialist teams provide expertise across these platforms, this position acts as the site's frontline IT support, ensuring issues are resolved efficiently and users receive excellent service. You will also help support the IT aspects of Operational Technology (OT) systems that underpin key production processes, working alongside site engineers and operational teams.
This is a hands-on role supporting both office-based and manufacturing environments, so you'll be comfortable working directly with users and spending time on the processing floor. The role also contributes to technology projects, user training initiatives, and participation in a scheduled on-call roster.
Key responsibilities include:
Assist, coordinate, and perform hands-on maintenance and troubleshooting of desktops, servers, and peripheral devices
Install and upgrade software and hardware, implement backups, and configure systems, applications, networking equipment, and OT devices
Proactively engage with end users to resolve support issues and improve their technology experience
Promote and contribute to continuous improvement of IT service delivery across the site
Provide technical support, fault diagnosis, and resolution for IT systems, services, and hardware used throughout the Pacific plant
Support the delivery of local and national IT projects
Ōu Pūkenga | About You:
This is a customer-focused role requiring someone who is organised, proactive, and passionate about solving problems. You'll be motivated by helping people, improving services, and delivering practical technology solutions in a fast-paced operational environment.
To be successful, you'll need to be adaptable, capable of managing competing priorities, and confident building professional relationships across all levels of the business.
Key skills and experience include:
Experience providing technical support for desktops, servers, printers, and networking equipment
Knowledge of desktop and server operating systems, particularly Microsoft Windows environments
Experience supporting Microsoft Office applications and Microsoft 365
Strong interpersonal skills, including rapport building, active listening, problem-solving, and documentation
Working knowledge of IT troubleshooting tools, diagnostic techniques, and support processes
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
A flexible approach and willingness to participate in on-call support as required
The ability to work effectively within both office and manufacturing environments
