We’re working with a well-established, globally recognised manufacturing business that’s been doing great things for years — designing, building, and delivering complex industrial products here in NZ and overseas.
They’ve got a big, busy production environment and a solid reputation. Now they’re looking for an Assembly Lead to take charge of a key area on the floor.
The Role
You’ll be leading a team of around 15 in the assembly space — keeping things running smoothly, hitting targets, and making sure quality stays high. This isn’t a desk job. You’ll be right there with the team — problem-solving, guiding, and getting stuck in when needed.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Leading, guiding and supporting the team day-to-day
- Keeping production on track — safety, quality, output
- Getting hands-on with assembly when needed
- Reading and working from drawings and building instructions
- Helping install and position components (mechanical + electrical)
- Troubleshooting issues and keeping things moving
- Working closely with the Production Manager
- Experience in a manufacturing or assembly environment
- Solid mechanical or electrical background (both = a big plus)
- Previous experience leading or supervising a team is essential
- Comfortable reading drawings and building plans
- Someone who’s practical, proactive, and good with people
- Happy to roll up your sleeves and lead from the front
- NZ based with full work rights
- Strong, stable business with a great reputation
- Proper mix of leadership + hands-on work
- Interesting, varied production environment
- Chance to really make your mark with the team
