LABOURER / TRADE ASSISTANT

Ace Electrics | Palmerston North

Looking for a hands-on role where attitude matters more than experience?

Ace Electrics is looking for a reliable, hardworking Labourer / Trade Assistant to join our team.

Your main focus will be supporting our Residential and Light Commerial Heat Pump HVAC installers with heat pump, ventilation and ducted system installations, but you’ll also lend a hand across our wider electrical team wherever needed.

You don’t need trade or HVAC experience.

What we care about is that you turn up, get stuck in, listen, learn and take pride in doing a good job.

What you’ll be doing

No two days will necessarily look the same.

You might be:

• Assisting with heat pump and ducted system installations
• Carrying equipment, materials and tools
• Helping install ducting, pipework and associated components
• Working in ceiling spaces and under floors
• Helping our electricians pull cables
• Digging trenches for underground services
• Picking up materials from suppliers
• Delivering tools and materials to our teams on different job sites
• Setting up and packing down job sites
• Keeping work areas clean, tidy and organised
• Being an extra pair of hands wherever the team needs you
• Learning the trade to become an installer

It’s a hands-on role. Some days you’ll be climbing ladders or working in roof spaces. Other days you might be digging a trench, moving equipment or running materials across town.

You need to be comfortable with physical work and willing to get stuck in.

Who we’re looking for

Experience would be useful, but attitude is far more important to us.

You’ll fit in well if you:

• Turn up when you say you will
• Have a strong work ethic
• Are physically fit and happy doing hands-on work
• Can follow instructions and work as part of a team
• Are happy to jump in and help wherever needed
• Take care of tools, equipment and our customers’ properties
• Are willing to listen and learn
• Have good common sense
• Take pride in leaving a job clean and tidy
• Have a positive attitude and aren’t afraid of hard work

A current NZ driver licence is required, as driving and delivering materials between job sites will form part of the role.

Why Ace Electrics?

We’re a locally owned Palmerston North electrical company with a growing Heat Pump & HVAC division.

We have high standards for our work, but just as importantly, high standards for how we treat our customers and each other. Trust, attitude and the reputation we build through our work matter here.

We believe skills can be taught.

Attitude, reliability and pride in your work are harder to teach – and that’s what we’re looking for.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to work alongside experienced tradespeople, develop practical skills and gain genuine experience across both the electrical and HVAC industries.

If you’re reliable, practical and ready to work, we’d like to hear from you.
