At Scitex, we’re proud to partner with a leading testing laboratory, delivering high-quality monitoring for the kiwifruit industry. We’re helping them find a Laboratory Technical Coordinator — a technically capable and people-focused individual who will play a key role in ensuring calibration, compliance, and data accuracy across lab operations.

If you’re someone who enjoys blending benchwork with technical systems and process oversight, this could be a great fit.

What you’ll do:

• Lead the annual calibration and maintenance program for all lab testing equipment.
• Support maintenance of lab hardware, software and LIMs systems.
• Oversee daily calibration checks and maintain compliance with ISO 17025 standards.
• Coach and support technicians and supervisors through pre-season training.
• Review, approve and release customer results, ensuring data integrity and timely delivery.
• Assist with interlaboratory testing, documentation control, and continuous improvement initiatives.

What we’re looking for:

• 2–3 years’ experience in a laboratory or technical QA role.
• Experience calibrating equipment such as balances and pH meters.
• Confident with bench-top testing and in-house monitoring of LIMs systems.
• Technically adept — quick to learn new software and applications.
• Approachable communicator with great attention to detail and problem-solving ability.
• Knowledge of ISO 17025 processes and documentation systems is a strong advantage.

What’s in it for you:

• Join a reputable, purpose-driven organisation making a tangible impact in NZ horticulture.
