About us | Ko wai mātou
Our Kauri site was established in 1989 and is Fonterra’s northernmost site. The site produces a range of milk powders, butters, AMF and a range of specialty products. Kauri’s Skim Milk Powder evaporator remains the largest single stage evaporator in NZ!
About the opportunity | Te whiwhinga mahi
As our dairy farmers wake, so too do our team of talented, professional drivers as they prepare for the day ahead. With safety, customer service and quality at the forefront, it’s their role to get our milk from farm to factory.
They drive some of the best trucks in the industry, have a different view from their office window every day and work a shift roster that sees them at home after every shift.
They get great on-the-job training with ultramodern technology in modern trucks and are rewarded with excellent working conditions, great income, uniform, and a range of other benefits.
Our Tanker Operators are a whānau who know what it means to work together and are proud of what they achieve.
