You’ll be working across a variety of sites throughout the Central North Island, gaining hands-on experience while being supported by experienced technicians and leadership.

About the Role

  • Diagnosing and repairing system faults
  • Reading and interpreting plans and specifications
  • Completing accurate job documentation and compliance records

  • Good communication and customer service skills
  • Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
  • Basic computer skills and attention to detail
  • Full, clean driver’s licence
  • Site Safe (or willingness to obtain)
Qualifications such as NZQA Level 3 Fire Detection & Alarms are advantageous but not essential.
What’s on Offer
  • Opportunity to grow within a supportive and experienced team
  • Exposure to both service and installation work
  • Ongoing training and development
  • Long-term career progression in a stable and growing industry
