Building Systems Inspector – Full Training

About the Role

We are seeking a reliable and motivated Building Systems Inspector to join our team based on Auckland's North Shore.

This is a hands-on specialised technical role within the building and fire protection industry, combining technical inspection and testing, problem solving, customer interaction and reporting.

The role will suit someone who enjoys understanding how systems work, identifying problems, working through technical requirements and making sound decisions. You may come from an engineering, technical, trade, construction, maintenance or other practical background.

The position is primarily Monday to Friday, with occasional night work required to meet customer or site requirements.

While the role is primarily based on the North Shore, some travel is required, with approximately 15 to 25 days of out-of-town work per year, spread throughout the year.

Previous building inspection or fire protection experience is not required. Full training will be provided, including the technical standards, inspection procedures and specialised knowledge required for the role.

The role would suit someone who has established themselves in another trade, technical, operational or practical career and is now looking for a new challenge and a long-term career path.
