- Occasional work at height and in confined spaces
- Participation in overtime and weekend breakdown coverage
What We're Looking For
- Trade-qualified Fitter Turner
- Strong experience with manual lathes and mills
- Solid understanding of speeds, feeds, tolerances, and fits
- Proven maintenance experience (strongly preferred)
- Confident working independently without close supervision
- Clear English communication skills
- Full NZ driver's licence (ability to drive company vehicles)
- Comfortable working at heights; confined space experience preferred
- Own full set of basic hand and battery tools (required on day one)
What's On Offer
- Competitive hourly rate ($49/hr)
- Diverse and interesting work across workshop and site-based projects
- Ongoing overtime and weekend work opportunities
- Training provided for working at heights and confined spaces
- A role suited to experienced tradespeople who take pride in their craft
