What they need


We are on the lookout for an experienced, trade-qualified Fitter/Welder to join one of the busiest workshops around! This company has been operating for over 25 years and has well-established operations across New Zealand and Australia. If you have solid experience welding medium-strength components, paired with proven fitting skills, we want to talk to you!

What’s in it for you?

  • Brand new, fully equipped engineering workshop
  • Workload is full and only growing, with no signs of slowing down.
  • Great team environment with a down-to-earth workplace culture.
  • Flexible working hours with overtime available to suit your lifestyle
  • $36-$39 per hour wages and OT available paid at T1.5 after 40 hours

The role:

With a strong pipeline of work already secured, this company is looking for a reliable Fitter/Welder to join their team of experienced engineers and help keep up with growing demand. As new projects continue to roll in, they need someone confident completing workshop tasks, ensuring welding and fitting work is completed efficiently and to a high standard. If you're looking for steady, hands-on work in a supportive team environment, this opportunity delivers exactly that.

Success in this role relies heavily on your ability to confidently weld medium to heavy strength materials and accurately work from plans, all while maintaining strong attention to detail. Just as important are your skills in fitting and assembling finished components to a high standard, making sure everything will function as intended once installed on-site. Taking ownership of your work and delivering consistently high standards will make you a valuable asset to the team.

A can-do attitude is essential in this role, we are looking for someone who is willing to roll up their sleeves, take initiative, and keep things moving. Whilst the work is hands-on and fast-paced, a sense of humour helps keep the team culture strong. It’s the kind of place where hard work gets noticed, and a good attitude goes a long way. If you can bring the skills and the banter, you’ll fit right in.
What we are looking for:

  • NZ L4 Fitting or Welding trade qualification
  • Minimum 5 years experience welding or fitting medium-heavy materials in New Zealand
  • Experience operating gantry crane beneficial
  • Reliable, motivated, and committed individuals
  • Welding tickets or ability to obtain them

Please apply online now, or fire your CV through to [email protected]

Applicants may be required to undertake pre-employment alcohol and drug testing, and should have NZ residency or full NZ working rights with no restrictions (sponsorship is not available for this role).
