HANNAH REVEL

Process Project Manager

Hannah’s move from grad to leader

From grad to project leader

After graduating, Hannah completed the 15‑month Te Mātāpuna Fonterra Technical Graduate Programme, studying Dairy Science and Technology as part of her development

Learning by doing

As a process project manager at the Edendale site, she oversees two milk‑powder spray dryers – from evaporation to packing. One highlight was leading a process‑improvement project that cut costs and improved efficiency, where she followed every detail from start to finish.

Teamwork, development and ambition

Hannah says, “The Fonterra Technical Graduate programme was instrumental in propelling my career… the mix of on‑site experience, research projects and lectures equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary for success in the dairy industry.”
