Field Service Engineers – Trade Qualified

Field Service Engineers – Trade QualifiedHamilton based — servicing NZ industry

We’re after trade-qualified engineers who take pride in doing things right, enjoy variety, and want to be part of a high-performing team that keeps New Zealand industry moving.

The role

You’ll be out on site and in the workshop, servicing and repairing rotating plant and critical equipment. One day it might be a pump overhaul, the next a laser alignment or gearbox rebuild. There’s plenty of variety, plenty of challenge, and a solid team backing you.

Daily life includes

· Toolbox meeting over a coffee at the Hamilton workshop (or on site)

· Heading out to jobs across Waikato, Auckland, BOP, Taranaki, and occasionally the South Island

· Working solo or in a small crew on repairs, servicing, and troubleshooting

· Precision mechanical repairs, including specialist brush plating techniques

· Contributing to a safe, supportive team culture

What we’re after

· New Zealand Trade Certificates in Mechanical, Fitting & Turning, Toolmaking, Diesel, Marine, Automotive, Aero, Heavy Electrical, or similar

· A methodical and accurate approach — engineers who value quality over shortcuts

· Solid mechanical knowledge and problem-solving skills

· Enthusiasm and willingness to help clients and teammates alike

· Pride in your workmanship — the kind where you stand back at the end of the job knowing it’s spot-on

What you’ll get

· The chance to join a high-performing team — where high standards are the norm and every member is backed to succeed

· A competitive package — pay that reflects your skill, plus benefits

· An 80-hour fortnight, giving flexibility in how you manage your time

· Variety — no two weeks look the same

· Opportunities to grow within an expanding business

· A tight-knit, down-to-earth team culture where we look after each other

· Proper coffee in the lunchroom — fresh beans always on hand
