• Strong fabrication and welding skills
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of jobs
• Experience leading teams or coordinating site work
• Good fault-finding and problem-solving ability
• Strong communication skills and a practical approach
• Full driving licence
• Comfortable working both in the workshop and out on site
• Marine engineering experience would be highly regarded
• Trade qualification preferred, but practical experience is what matters most

What's On Offer

• Diverse and interesting work across Canterbury
• Exposure to industrial and marine engineering projects
• A mix of workshop and field-based work
• Opportunity to take on responsibility and lead projects
• Stable long-term position with a respected engineering business
• Supportive team environment where your experience is valued
