Generator electrician

Job Description

This small team packs a big punch, and they're on the hunt for a skilled and experienced technician to join the gang here in Christchurch. Whether you're a seasoned Generator Technician or a Registered Electrician who isn't afraid to get your hands dirty, this is a great opportunity to showcase your skills and take the next step in your career. While we're ideally looking for an experienced generator technician who can hit the ground running, we are also keen to hear from Mechanical and Industrial electricians who are looking to transfer their skills to a new industry and take the next step in their career. What's In It For You: * Autonomous role in a small, skilled team * Down-to-earth management who look after their staff * Support from other branches throughout the South Island * Permanent full-time role on wages * $38 - $45 per hour + work ute Role: Across both their hire and sales divisions, you'll be responsible for servicing, maintenance, fault finding, repairs, installation and commissioning of modern, high-quality generators. You'll need technical skills of course, but what we're really looking for here is an old school, whatever-it-takes attitude to your work. Grit, graft, gumption - long story short, the willingness to roll up your sleeves and get the job done. Clients include the major electricity networks, farms, ports, and councils - you'll be playing with big boy toys, so health and safety needs to be second-nature. Most of the time you'll be based at the yard in north-west Christchurch, however the total area coverage stretches from Ashburton to the top of the South and occasional travel will be required (no more than a couple nights at a time, every couple of months). In exchange for your technical ability and dedication to the team, you'll be warmly welcomed into a family-feel, down to earth company that goes the extra mile to look after their guys. You'll be trained up, offered opportunities for progression, and supported by a talented network of sparkies throughout the South Island who take pride in being the best in the business. What We Are Looking For: * New Zealand Registered Electrician * Demonstrated NZ experience as a Generator Technician, or otherwise as an Industrial / Mechanical Electrician * Excellent communication, teamwork + customer service * Rigorous health + safety standards * Great work ethic Please apply online now, or fire your CV through to christchurch@heights.nz Applicants may be required to undertake pre-employment alcohol and drug testing.
