This opportunity sits within a well-established engineering business delivering fabrication, installation, and servicing work across heavy industry and infrastructure projects.

The Role
You’ll join a small, highly skilled team of five tradespeople – one electrician and four mechanical fitters – working across industrial equipment and engineering projects.

This is a practical role suited to an electrician who enjoys hands-on work and being involved in mechanical systems as well as electrical.

Travel
Site travel is required, typically overnight travel around once per week, depending on project schedules.

Ideal Experience

  • NZ Electrical Registration and a current practising license.
  • Hands-on experience with electromechanical and mechanical components (happy to swing spanners, not just screwdrivers).
  • Strong fault-finding and diagnostic skills
  • Comfortable working alongside mechanical trades teams
  • A practical, problem-solving approach
  • Willingness for frequent travel and support site work

What’s in It for You?

  • $45 – $60/hour depending on experience

  • Varied project work with a well-established engineering team

If you’re an industrial electrician who enjoys hands-on work, problem solving, and variety beyond standard maintenance roles, this could be a great fit.
