Engineering Machinery Technician

We have an exciting opportunity for a mechanically minded technician to join a well-established engineering machinery sales organisation based in Christchurch.

This is a varied, hands-on role combining workshop and customer site work. You'll be involved in preparing machinery for sale, as well as servicing, maintaining, repairing, and commissioning specialised engineering equipment.

• Diagnosing faults and troubleshooting technical issues
• Preparing, testing, and quality-checking machines prior to delivery
• Completing quality assurance documentation and service records
• Assisting with machine installations, commissioning, and customer support
• Maintaining high standards of workmanship and safety

About you

We're looking for someone with strong mechanical aptitude, a practical mindset, and passion for engineering. You may come from a fitting, maintenance, machinery servicing, manufacturing, or general engineering background.

To be successful, you'll have:

• Strong fitting, mechanical, and fault-finding skills
• Experience working with industrial or engineering machinery
• A hands-on approach and excellent problem-solving ability
• High attention to detail and pride in your work
• The ability to work independently and manage priorities effectively
