Junior Mechanical Fitter

THE AUTOMATION & ROBOTICS EXPERTS
This Kiwi success story began in a humble Dunedin engineering workshop over 100 years ago — today, they’re a global leader in Automation & Robotics across multiple sectors. Their NZ-designed and manufactured machinery is custom-built for clients in the mining, food processing, and materials handling industries, to name a few. With a team of over 500 staff and ambitious growth plans, there’s no better time to get on board.

YOUR NEW ROLE
Based in the Mangere workshop, you’ll join a friendly team that builds and assembles portable crushers, rock mills, and mobile labs specifically for the mining industry. Working alongside experienced Fitters and Engineers, you’ll gain hands-on experience fitting, aligning, and assembling complex mechanical systems from detailed drawings.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their mechanical career to develop their skills across fabrication, hydraulics, pneumatics, and precision fitting while working on high-quality NZ-made equipment.

This Monday-to-Friday role offers “lifestyle-friendly” hours — early 6am starts and 2:30pm finishes — perfect for those who enjoy getting an early start and having their afternoons free.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING
We’re looking for a mechanically minded person with a great attitude and a genuine interest in engineering. Whether you’re recently qualified or still building your experience, this is a great chance to learn from some of the best in the industry.
You’ll need:

  • Trade qualification or partial completion in Mechanical Engineering or Fitting (or similar)
  • Strong practical and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings
  • Good attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship
  • Reliable, team-oriented, and eager to learn
  • A safety-conscious and proactive approach to work

If you’re looking to grow your career in a stable, world-class company that values craftsmanship and innovation, we’d love to hear from you.
