Research and Development Assistant

Are you enthusiastic about advancing the science of wood treatment and coating research? We are on the lookout for a motivated graduate to join our innovative team in Tauranga, working full time (Monday - Friday) in this new created role. As a crucial member of our team, you will be part of a collaborative environment, reporting to the R&D Project Manager.

About the Role: This role involves supporting and executing research on wood coatings, implementing and managing quality control systems for Thermally Modified Timber (TMT), and managing R&D orders, timber samples, and stock. You'll also oversee fire, durability, and termite testing processes, while maintaining accurate documentation and supporting operational activities like record keeping, logistics, lab work, and QC system development.

Products that store carbon are the future for the building material industry – so this is a growing and fast paced industry. You will be working with a great bunch of people that have a love for doing good and going out of their way to assist in achieving the founder's mission.

If you are passionate about locally grown, sustainable timber products, this role is for you.
