Mechanical Shift Fitter

|Manufacturing & Trades - Maintenance Engineers/Fitters|New Zealand

Keep one of NZ’s fastest production lines firing – and get paid well above the market for doing it.

If you’re wondering whether this employer truly walks the talk, here’s how you can tell:

  • Maintenance team tenure is measured in decades, not years – people join and stay.
  • They manufacture an essential, high-demand product – their production volumes keep growing.
  • They pay significantly above market rates – genuinely. Call me and I’ll prove it.

Based in South Auckland, this large-scale manufacturing site produces high-speed packaging solutions that supply major brands across the country. When you’re producing thousands of units per minute, maintenance isn’t just important – it’s mission-critical.

The Role
You’ll work a 4-on, 4-off rotating roster of 12-hour day and night shifts, carrying out a mix of routine maintenance, breakdown response, and continuous improvement work on a highly automated, ultra-fast production line.
You’ll get hands-on with:

  • Conveyors and high-speed handling systems
  • Pneumatic and hydraulic equipment
  • Tooling, dies and precision assemblies
  • Auxiliary production machinery
  • Fabrication, turning and component modifications in the onsite workshop
  • Managing and maintaining critical spare parts

If you enjoy solving mechanical problems under pressure and keeping high-speed equipment running smoothly, this is your environment.

What You’ll Bring

  • NZ Trade Qualification – Mechanical Engineering
  • Experience in high-speed or automated manufacturing (ideal)
  • Strong mechanical fault-finding ability
  • Fitting and machining experience
  • Welding skills – TIG preferred
  • Computer literacy and CMMS experience
  • Current NZ working rights
