Hutt Concrete Products

Upper Hutt

FULL TIME

Outstanding Industrial Designer

We're looking for someone who is insanely resourceful and skilled when it comes to Industrial Design for a precast concrete business.
Fast-paced progressive business requires your help.
Our team is looking for someone to help tackle the fun challenges that come with
the design of our precast molds and concrete products.

Ranging from..

Solidworks CAD work
Steel mold design
Wood mold design
Shop drawings for engineers to build molds
Concrete product design
3D printing
Shop drawings for concrete products
Reinforcing drawings for concrete products
Creating cut and bend lists for reinforcing

Working with us is definitely not for everyone. We're on a mission to manufacture quality products for building New Zealand's infrastructure. To help build more homes for kiwis to create better roads and railways. And for building beautiful things to help make the world a better place. This is no small feat and will only be possible with the right kind of team members.
And we're not just looking for skills and experience. Having shared values is just as important.
Here are ours:

Progress over perfection: Taking regular imperfect action towards your intended goals

- Be happy: Everything begins with gratitude. As Jon Kabat Zinn says - ""if you're breathing there's more right with you than wrong"". We believe that happiness precedes results.
- Say Yes: Courage precedes growth - which requires an attitude of sometimes taking on tasks that scare us and are new. This is where growth and fulfillment comes.

Be wrong: Problems will NEVER EVER go away. New solutions even lead to new problems. But unless we can first see and admit that there's a problem we can't even begin to solve it.

Hungry to learn and grow: Staying still is just as bad as moving backwards. Staying curious and always seeking to learn and grow is the surest way to creating a big future.

Discover over create: Why spend countless hours solving something that's already been solved?

- Manage systems over people: If there's a problem - first look at the system before blaming others. How could we fix the issue at the root by modifying or improving our systems?
- We serve: Why does a business exist in the first place? Customers give us money in exchange for us giving them a result - at the very heart of this is our ability to serve.
- KISS: ""Simplicity is the ultimate in sophistication"" - Leonardo da Vinci

Team first: There's no ""I"" in team. And without a strong team we'll never be able to compete at the highest level.

Do it anyways: There will always be some amount of doing things that we'd rather not. Hard work is required in order to achieve great things.

Kaizen mindset: We share a commitment towards continuous small improvements so that we can make our tomorrows better than our todays.

Who this is NOT for:

You don't like solving problems
Growth and learning aren't a top priority for you
You don't consider yourself to be resourceful
You don't enjoy working with others
