Reporting to the Contracting Business Manager, this role has some exciting additions to the ‘on the tools’ work. You’ll also be:
- Building and managing maintenance schedules for vehicles and machinery;
- Putting an off-road repair and system in place; and
- Implementing service call outs on orchard when necessary.
- A competitive base salary (or pay rate if you prefer) & work vehicle.
- A great job, right in the middle of the BOP. Pukehina is a beautiful spot! You could move close and enjoy the lifestyle near Pukehina Beach, or commute from Tauranga, Whakatane or Rotorua.
- A company wide incentive scheme.
- An incredible team of kiwifruit experts so you can get an understanding of the industry if it’s new to you.
- Respectful and supportive leadership and team.
- Exciting projects and opportunities to develop your skills further.
This role requires a set of skills and capabilities, listed below. Does this sound like you?
- You are a broadly experienced mechanic: You’ll have sufficient experience on the tools to be able to pick up the requirements for servicing and repair across a fleet of vehicles and other machinery.
- You’re comfortable on the tools: While there are other elements to the role, you will be the mechanic. So you’ll need to be comfortable spending the majority of your day ‘doing’ the work.
- You are a problem solver: You’ll have a natural ability to figure it out… People will bring issues to you, you’ll solve them. Ideally you’ll be the type of person that gets a kick out of that!
- You want to grow: In this role, and beyond it, you’ll be someone who sees a future of being more of an expert, and widening the scope of your role over time.
- You are a good communicator: The team will find you approachable, easy to talk to, and you’ll be good at helping them understand what they need to about the machinery they operate.
To be considered for this role, you must have the current legal right to work in New Zealand at the time of application. This means you are either:
