Te Tūranga | About the Role

We're looking for a Non-Production Environment Lead to take ownership of how our non-production environments are managed, optimised, and utilised across Silver Fern Farms.

Reporting to the Quality Engineering Practice Manager, you'll play a critical role in enabling successful project delivery by ensuring environments are available, fit-for-purpose, and aligned to business and testing needs.

Working across delivery teams, infrastructure, architecture, application support, and external partners, you'll provide leadership, visibility, and governance over the environments that underpin our technology transformation programmes and ongoing operational delivery.

This two-year fixed-term role has been created to support our technology transformation and delivery activity across Silver Fern Farms, ensuring our non-production environments enable successful project outcomes while we run a large number of concurrent projects that require well-managed non-production environments.

What You'll Be Responsible For

Defining and driving the strategy, governance, and roadmap for non-production environments.
Managing environment planning, provisioning, scheduling, and utilisation.
Coordinating environment allocation across projects and business-as-usual activities.
Providing visibility of environment availability, usage, and constraints.

Managing environment-related risks, issues, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Ensuring environments are secure, stable, and aligned with production where required.

Silver Fern Farms is delivering a growing portfolio of technology and business transformation initiatives. As the complexity and volume of delivery increases, effective management of non-production environments is essential to ensuring testing can occur and projects can progress with confidence.

This newly established role will provide the focus, governance, and coordination needed to support successful delivery across our technology landscape.
