- You could be rotated through our Steel Mill in Glenbrook, Waikato North Head Mine Site or Pacific Steel.
- Each rotation is catered specifically to your development needs and is a great opportunity to discover what pathway you would like to pursue.

Reviews
Failure analysis; Product design and grade;
Work as a process engineer. Do literature review, microexamination, trials and data analysis.
I currently work in the iron plant maintenance team. I generally work on small projects and maintenance jobs. The projects involve research and design, and the smaller maintenance jobs are generally required to be finished ASAP so involve small amounts of design and planning.

Pros and cons of working at New Zealand Steel
Pros
Options. The number of opportunities that are available combined with the support for development and growth is paramount.
There is a great balance of computer to fieldwork.
Learning from experienced engineers.
The team I am working with my manager and my colleague, they are very supportive and helpful.
Gaining real industry experiences.
Cons
Depending on where you grew up and whether you decided to live locally, the location of the Glenbrook site can be a downside. This is especially true if you are used to city life, but it can also be a major upside if you are looking to move away from the traffic and lifestyle of urban areas.
I would like to have some experience with the operational side of heavy vehicles to further my understanding of what I ask for/expect as a Production Engineer/Shift supervisor.
Sometimes would be stressful directly dealing with customer requirements.
