Our Graduate programme holds nothing back. Grads work hands-on in project teams, innovating and influencing real solutions. Deep-diving into IT and Digital 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. Some of our best ideas have come from grads, and some of their best career stories have come from us.
Beyond loving the day-to-day work, grads enjoy our collaborative working style and continuous learning experience. From one of our 2019 cohort: “This is a great industry to learn in. There are heaps of opportunities, and there’s a real openness here to new ways, ideas and options – different perspectives are valued; it’s collaborative and outcome oriented. Everyone works together, and the culture is one of really valuing sustainability – everybody is really passionate and driven to improve.”
This year, we have opportunities working alongside some of our best in class in our IT and Digital space, Data & Analytics, Architecture & Platform Engineering, Solutions and Digital. Working on rotations across all areas, you’ll dive into day-to-day BAU work and critical project work that will build a strong core skills base for wherever you take your career. Fully immersed in each area, you’ll be mentored by your peers and leaders as you face challenges, find solutions, learn, and grow.
We’re looking for great communicators who are naturally curious, motivated, and above all, great team players. As this is a graduate role, you’ll have completed your studies towards a relevant technology-focused Undergraduate or Postgraduate Degree or will have graduated within the last two years.
Joining us can lead to great things. We’re big on sustainability, diversity, and innovation. We offer competitive pay, ongoing learning and career development, flexible working hours and a bunch of other perks, all while working with leading technology and some of the best in-market. Our grads have gone on to flourish in bigger and better roles, travel the world and try their hand at new things.

Reviews
Product Development Engineer is my title but its more of a Software Development Engineering role by tasks. I work on fixing bugs and implementing new features for the current wall oven.
This is still generally positive, as in my previous role I took over responsibilities of a senior worker, giving me huge opportunities to pick up skills I previous did not have. However, in this current rotation I have been given far less.
I work on projects relating to new product development, understanding baseline performance of new products to be developed and how these align with our internal performance standards, and functionality on our existing products. This involves a combination of testing products using a variety of test types and functions, data analysis of these results, and meetings and discussions around planning of work to achieve these performance goals inline with the overall project goals and objectives. However, long term this doesn't align with the level of data analysis work I wanted to do in my role.

Pros and cons of working at Fisher & Paykel Appliances
Pros
The people are super kind, open, relaxed, and happy to help. The work culture and environment are super healthy and welcoming.
Managers are very accessible. Easy to walk up to a leader/manager and talk with them about anything. Lots of great mentors, especially within your own team who are more than happy to assist you.
Big push to be Carbon Net Zero by 2050. Lots of intern projects looking at new and innovative ways to reach this goal as well as ongoing projects.
My company has strong support around the flexibility of work hours, and particularly for testing when these hours can increase, is the best approach to take.
Lots of opportunities to move up in the company. Some people who have started as graduates have ended up as leaders and executives.
Cons
Some decisions and actions within the business can be quite slow due to the large size of the company and the procedures in place that usually require communication between multiple levels and areas of the company before clear decisions are made.
The fact that it is in Auckland, I am not a fan of the traffic. But that is not a big deal.
Formal training programmes are relatively general and corporate. On-the-job training depends on the department and team.
Decision-making can be tedious or take longer than it needs which can be frustrating.
The inability to allow a hybrid work environment for graduates.
