Senior AI Engineer

Based in Whanganui a Tara (Wellington) or Ōtautahi (Christchurch) We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior AI Engineer to join our Analytics and Insights team. NHC Toka Tū Ake (NHC) is well into its AI journey. We've moved through experimentation and proof of concept, built the governance, tools and capabilities to implement AI safely, and now we’re investing in the people who will turn that groundwork into real value. Our new fixed term AI roles are about delivery: redesigning processes with AI and automation and building the skills and confidence across our organisation to make the most of these technologies. These roles will help us test and strengthen this approach as we continue to learn what works best for NHC Toka Tū Ake. The Senior AI Engineer will provide the technical backbone of the AI team, leading the design, build and delivery of production-ready solutions using AI and machine learning. You’ll also set technical standards and reusable approaches that help us scale AI safely and sustainably. If you have the technical depth to take AI solutions from idea to production delivery, we'd like to hear from you. You’ll get to put your skills into practice in an organisation nimble enough to move fast and get decisions made.
