Workshop Technician

Trade · Papakura, Auckland, New Zealand · Full-Time · $50,000/yr

Professionals who want variety rather than a single machine will find real scope for growth in this Workshop Technician role. A verified engineering and metal fabrication employer needs a skilled fitter and CNC machine operator who can be accountable for jobs from start to finish.

Day to day, you will combine CNC work with fitting, assembly and fabrication, while coordinating jobs so production stays accurate, well organised and on time. Strong drawing-reading ability is central: you will translate engineering drawings into a clear plan of what to manufacture, sequence the work and make sure finished items leave the workshop ready to install.

It is an ideal platform for a workshop all-rounder looking to apply their full technical and practical capability.

Undertake basic MIG and TIG welding where the work demands it
Verify the accuracy of finished components through inspection and measurement, resolving any fabrication issues prior to dispatch

Maintain open, effective communication with workshop and site personnel
Keep workshop machinery and equipment in good working order
Champion safe, organised and efficient workshop practices
Uphold high standards of cleanliness, quality and safety
Attend installation sites periodically to support fitting work
