About Gallagher

At Gallagher, our purpose is to Protect What Matters Most. From securing high-risk environments to revolutionising farming through technology, we’re a global leader in innovation. Our Animal Management division is dedicated to making farm life easier, more productive, and more sustainable through cutting-edge solutions.

Join Gallagher’s Alison Laboratory – Where Innovation Meets Precision

Are you passionate about electrical product testing and compliance? Whether you're an experienced technician or an engineer ready to take the next step, we have a permanent opportunity for you in our high-tech electrical product testing lab – not your typical laboratory setting.

This role is central to ensuring our electrical products – across both animal management and security - meet rigorous compliance and performance standards before they reach farms and facilities around the world.

You’ll work closely with R&D, Product Development, and Compliance teams to test and validate electrical and electronic components, troubleshoot issues, and contribute to product reliability and innovation.

What You’ll Do

  • Conduct hands-on testing of electrical and electronic hardware to ensure performance, safety, and compliance with standards.
  • Set up, maintain, and repair test equipment, rigs, and structured lab environments to support reliable and consistent testing processes
  • Generate test reports and declaration of conformity documents
  • Calibrate test equipment in-house or coordinate calibration with external service providers
  • Coordinate additional test requirements with external laboratories
  • Diagnose and document performance issues, contributing to design improvements
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to refine test procedures and validation protocols
  • Help define future lab capabilities to support ongoing innovation

Who We’re Looking For

You must have an electrical background, but we’re open to candidates at different levels of experience. You might be a technician with strong hands-on skills or an engineer with a strategic mindset. Either way, you’ll have a strong technical mindset, hands-on approach, a keen eye for detail, and:

  • A qualification in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • Experience in electrical/electronic product testing, validation, or compliance.
  • Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills for electrical and electronic systems.
  • Familiarity with test instrumentation and data analysis.
  • A passion for precision, process improvement, and emerging technologies.

To apply for this job, you must currently live in New Zealand and have the legal right to work in NZ.
