Job Description

Planit – An NRI Company

Where Quality Is Seen, Not Heard

At Planit, quality isn't a checkbox – it's a craft. As part of NRI, we combine global scale with deep local expertise to deliver quality engineering and testing services you can see, trust and measure.

With 1,500+ Quality Engineering specialists and delivery models that adapt to every client's needs, Planit offers the perfect blend of reach, reliability and innovation.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Performance Test Lead to lead a specialist non-functional testing workstream for a major technology upgrade project.

You'll take ownership of the performance testing lifecycle, from defining the testing strategy and workload models through to scripting, execution, analysis and final production-readiness recommendations.

This is a hands-on technical leadership opportunity requiring strong expertise in Apache JMeter at protocol level, alongside the ability to work collaboratively with technical stakeholders and vendor teams.

Please note this is a Contract position and is remote working options across NZ. We are looking for candidates based in NZ with full working rights.

About You

You are an experienced performance testing specialist who can independently establish and deliver a performance testing workstream. You combine strong technical expertise with a structured approach to identifying performance risks, analysing system behaviour and driving issues through to resolution.

You are comfortable working in complex enterprise environments, engaging with technical stakeholders and providing clear, evidence-based recommendations to support production readiness.

What You'll Do

  • Define the non-functional testing scope, workload models, entry and exit criteria, measurable acceptance thresholds and environment prerequisites.
  • Review application architecture, high-volume workflows, integrations, user profiles, infrastructure monitoring and representative usage patterns.
  • Develop the performance, load, stress and endurance testing strategy and detailed test plan.
  • Configure and develop Apache JMeter scripts, including test data, correlation, parameterisation, workload models and monitoring.
  • Execute baseline, controlled-load, stress and endurance testing within the agreed Azure test environment.
  • Analyse response times, throughput, error rates, resource utilisation and performance bottlenecks across application, database, integration and platform components.
  • Work closely with vendor and technical teams to log, triage, investigate and retest performance issues.
  • Provide interim findings, reusable test scripts, supporting evidence and a comprehensive final performance testing report.
  • Deliver production-readiness recommendations, complete knowledge transfer and hand over test scripts, results and outstanding risks.

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience leading and delivering performance and non-functional testing engagements.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Apache JMeter, particularly protocol-level performance testing and scripting.
  • Demonstrated experience designing and executing load, stress, endurance and baseline testing.
  • Strong understanding of workload modelling, performance testing strategies and measurable acceptance criteria.
  • Experience working with Microsoft Azure or other cloud-hosted environments.
  • Ability to analyse performance metrics and identify bottlenecks across application, database, integration and infrastructure layers.
  • Experience with performance monitoring, test data management, correlation and parameterisation.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills and experience working with vendors, developers and infrastructure teams to resolve performance issues.
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement, communication and reporting skills.
  • Ability to work autonomously and take ownership of a specialist testing workstream within a time-bound project.

Why Join NRI Planit?

You'll work with experienced quality engineering professionals and have the opportunity to apply your specialist expertise to a significant technology upgrade project.

At Planit, we invest in our people, our capabilities and the future of quality engineering. You'll be part of a team that values innovation, collaboration and delivering measurable outcomes for our clients.

Your skills. Our impact. Together unstoppable.

If you share our belief that great quality engineering is about reducing risk and unlocking value, we'd love to hear from you.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
