Everyone works together, and the culture is one of really valuing sustainability – everybody is really passionate and driven to improve.”
In Dunedin, our teams are designing the next generation of Cooking and Dishwashing products. You probably already know some of our products – wouldn’t you love to be part of the team enhancing them even more as we continue to work on our goals of sustainability and premium customer experience on the global stage?

For these specific teams you will need to be on target to complete your studies this year towards an Undergraduate or Postgraduate Degree in Mechanical Engineering, and ideally you are excited about the ongoing innovation and science in dishwasher or cooking systems and structures.
What’s on offer…
So much!
We also offer a competitive salary, generous Kiwisaver or a Student Loan payback scheme, discounted medical insurance, life and disability insurance, and multiple corporate discounts with banks and retailers. Our Dunedin design centre is based in a shopping centre, with plenty of food options nearby, and many of our people enjoy an active commute on bikes or walking/running. We have lots of social clubs and fun stuff happening all the time and being a cooking design centre, there’s also a lot of food coming out of our labs and kitchens to keep you nourished.
Our CEO started here as a grad. So did our Executive of Product Development. When we say career growth at Fisher & Paykel is tangible, we really mean it.

Deep-diving into Product Development offers real-time learning from some of the best in industry, and we’re stoked to have you there – grads bring fresh perspective that means we learn from you, too.
