Maintenance Electrician

|Manufacturing & Trades - Industrial Electricians|Auckland

WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO YOU?
Mortgage stress? Job (in)security? An employer cutting costs? There’s plenty to be nervous about in today’s job market—but there’s hope. This long-standing company is lucky to produce products that Kiwis love, no matter what the interest rates are doing.

KEEP PRODUCTION HUMMING
As the sole Electrician on shift, you’ll be the hero when PLCs act up, motors stop turning, or E-stops “mysteriously” trigger. Fortunately, most of your shift will focus on preventative maintenance—ensuring that electrical and control systems (SCADA and HMIs) are running smoothly.

The site operates 24/7 on a popular 2-2-3 shift pattern that evenly rotates between day and night shifts. This gives you a true work/life balance, with an equal number of days off. Shifts are 12 hours, running from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

You’ll use CMMS—MEX—to log work and share activity across the wider maintenance team.

GOT THE RIGHT SKILLS?
We’re looking for a team player with a solid background in food production or packaging. You’ll need:

  • A current EWRB Electrical licence
  • Strong fault-finding ability
  • Familiarity with Allen-Bradley / Rockwell PLCs
  • Experience with HMI and SCADA systems
  • A willingness to assist with mechanical tasks as needed
  • Clean and tidy work habits
  • Unrestricted New Zealand working rights

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?
The base salary for a qualified and experienced Electrician is around $120k—but here’s where it gets interesting. Add overtime, plus annual allowances for tools, advanced trade certs, ENCHEM, PLC programming, and long service—and you could earn another $10,000–$20,000+ annually. You’ll also receive extra annual leave to sweeten the deal even further.
