• Locally-based international player punching above its weight!
  
• Latest technology telecommunications provider
• Potential opportunities in NZ and overseas

We want someone who is highly motivated and has a passion for delivering scalable, available, and well-designed systems that meet customer requirements - and is a thinker.  They have grown because they challenge the status quo and want someone who is like-minded.  In other words, someone who doesn't just follow what is, but challenges what could be.

You'll be an analytical thinker with strong technical skills to be a part of the team managing the multiple data centres located around the world.  You'll work closely with the customer support teams as well as vendors on the implementation, configuration, troubleshooting and maintenance of the infrastructure, systems & carrier interconnects.

As someone who understands and has some experience in VoIP, you'll have knowledge of what you need to do, so rather than go into detail, we'd rather focus on who they are and what opportunity exists for you - which are enormous if the world is your oyster and you want to gain international experience.  This is not a senior role, but you'll still need a couple of years's experience minimum.

This is a very good opportunity with a company that has already proven its performance against the bigger players, and as a result, gives those who join unique opportunities.  On offer is a very good base salary, plus the potential to participate in a company-wide performance bonus.

If you think you could fit this unique culture, and have the skill-set outlined, I'd like to hear from you.  Please submit your application via our registration process.  For more information, you can call in confidence, Kevin Chappell on 0295-974739

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST BE ELIGIBLE TO WORK IN NZ TO APPLY FOR THIS ROLE.

• Great team based in Hamilton central
  
• Initial 12 month fixed term role
• Interesting variety of projects

We're after a BA with a minimum of five years experience, in either the NZ commercial or public sector, or a comparative environment such as Australia, the UK, or South Africa.

As well as having strong general technical BA skills, we're after the following:

• Experience in data migration, data mapping and moving data between systems.
• Functional and non-functional requirements, validation of information/data from different sources, data structures and audit processes
• Most or all of above!

You will have relevant tertiary qualifications from a recognised institution, and have additional subsequent training to ensure you are contemporary with current practices in the BA space.  Whilst experience will be what candidates are evaluated on, fluency of English will be a mandatory skill-set due to the nature of the sector you will be involved in.

We have worked with this client for some time and can assure applicants that securing a role within these projects will add value to your CV and give you some transferable experience and skills that will enhance your experience

On offer is a very good salary for the period, excellent benefits - with some flexibility of engagement for the right person.

So if you're either Waikato based, or able to work Monday through Friday (or perhaps Thursday?) in Hamilton, then I'd like to hear from you.  Some travel may be required, but it's not onerous.

If this sounds like you, and you've got the skills, are available, coming available, or simply looking for a change, then click on "apply" and follow our registration process.  Alternatively, you can contact Kevin Chappell on 0295-974739.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ONLY CANDIDATES WITH NZ EXPERIENCE, OR EXPERIENCE IN A COMPARATIVE COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENT, WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS ROLE.

• 12 month fixed term contract, based in Hamilton
  
• Critical time with new system in place
• Be part of a significant project that will add value to your experience
  

We're after someone who can hit the ground running (excuse the cliche...) and contribute immediately to the bedding in of the system, assist with any developments, plus any changes across all areas of Supply Chain.  The deadlines are tight, so we're after a "specialist" who is not daunted by these tight timeframes in front of them.

You will work to ensure readiness for change, especially around inventory processes, Third Party Supply, and be involved in ensuring all aspects of the new system are aligned to the business needs.

You will need to have worked in an environment of scale and complexity, as the sheer size of this supply chain means you'll need to understand the interaction of multiple stakeholders on and off site - plus third parties.  It would be helpful if you had experience around scanning technology, as well as of course a large ERP environment.

We are after someone who has strong functional skills and experience, who is also a good communicator, and can both work independently as well as part of a high performing team.  This of course alongside your knowledge and experience of end-to-end supply chain.

This is a very exciting opportunity to work in an environment where challenge and interest will prevail!  An excellent daily/hourly rate will be paid.  a 12 month contract is on offer and you will need to be able to work as an independent contractor for this role.

If this is you, then please submit an application via our registration process by clicking on the apply button.  And if you'd like to know more, feel free to call Kevin Chappell on 0295-974739.

PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO THE CONTRACT NATURE OF THIS ROLE, ONLY CANDIDATES IN NZ, OR WITH A RIGHT TO WORK IN NZ, WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS ROLE.

• 12 month fixed term contract role
  
• Major national technology project
• Hamilton City location

Firstly, if you haven't been involved in the administration of an IT or technology project, then it's unlikely that this role will suit.

Reporting to a Programme Director who is highly respected and incredibly busy, the expectations are high, as she relies heavily on a high level of performance in this primary support role.  So as well as being savvy with these types of projects, she wants someone unflappable, well-organised, and incapable of subscribing to dramas that may go on around the work environment!!  Also, with the Programme Director travelling regularly, this person will need to be used to working autonomously and without instruction or oversight, and be proactive in doing what's needed.

It goes without saying that you'll need technical project administration skills and experience and enjoy working with a range of stakeholders who themselves have independent views and are in many locations throughout the country.  Also, we're after high level communication skills and absolute English fluency, as well as the ability to forge strong working relationships across a broad spectrum of personalities, ages, and styles.

So this is not for the faint-hearted, but will be interesting and rewarding.

This is a fixed term contract role and whilst ideally you'll be a contractor, we can have a temporary employee arrangement if needed.

If this sparks some interest, then please submit an application via our registration process by clicking on apply.  And if you'd like to know more, feel free to call Kevin Chappell on 0295-974739.
