Ixom New Zealand Graduate Stories

My one piece of advice is to take on any opportunities that come your way, even if they don’t sound attractive at the time - just do it! This has paid off really well for me while at IXOM.

I think the best part of the graduate program is that through your rotations you get to see different corners of the business you wouldn’t ordinarily see if you stayed in one role.

At Ixom I work within the NZ Projects team to investigate, plan and supervise ongoing projects at our manufacturing and storage sites throughout New Zealand.

The reason I decided to do engineering was because I enjoyed working on science research projects in high school and liked working in teams.

Working in the Life Sciences division of Ixom my role primarily sources raw materials to be used in the manufacture of food and nutritional products.

A large part of my role is going to customer sites and running tests that provide information on how the process is running and how the chemicals are performing in the processes.
