Residential electrician

Job Description

We are on the lookout for a Registered Electrician to join a high-performing residential team with steady work, great culture, and projects you'll be proud to put your name on. What's in it for you: * ASAP start - no mucking around * Mix of new build residential homes and multi-unit developments * Capable, competent electricians on the tools alongside you * Short or long term work depending on what you're after * $43-$45+ per hour contract or wages available -- Role: If you're a seasoned NZ Registered Electrician who takes pride in doing things properly and can manage your own workload without needing someone looking over your shoulder, this is a role worth exploring. You'll be trusted to run your own jobs on site, keep things moving, and deliver high-quality work. While you'll be fairly self-sufficient day to day, you'll also have strong support around you from experienced senior sparkies and a well-organised office team who make life easier, not harder. The work itself offers a good mix. You'll be involved with two well-known developers - one focused on high-volume townhouse builds in the city, and the other delivering new homes across areas like Rolleston, Prebbleton and Kaiapoi. Alongside that, the servicing side of the business has seen a real lift recently, with more maintenance work coming through and some light commercial fit-outs on the horizon. It keeps things interesting and gives you a bit of variety in your week. This role suits someone who can hit the ground running, takes ownership of their work, and enjoys being part of a team that just gets on with it. If you're reliable, take pride in the details, and like working alongside good people who back each other, you'll fit in well here. -- What we are looking for: * New Zealand Registered Electrician * Solid NZ experience in new build residential housing * Great time management and high quality workmanship * Health and Safety conscious * Excellent communication skills --- We also have opportunities available in commercial projects, heat pumps and servicing - so no matter what you're looking for, it's worth giving us a shout.
