Some roles with Fonterra, particularly client-facing jobs and positions on their source team, will involve work hours outside of regular working hours. If required for the job you are interviewing for, your interviewer needs to know that you are willing and able to work all hours required for the job. This also includes any hours over the standard 40-hour work week in New Zealand.

As you researched and applied for this job at Fonterra, the job description will do a good job of outlining the hours that are generally required for the position. The key to your answer here is letting your interviewer know that you are open to working any of the required hours for the job. If you have any time commitments outside of work due to family needs or personal needs, now is the best time to disclose those to your interviewer.
