Are you a qualified electrician who enjoys getting hands on with mechanical gear too? This role offers the best of both worlds, combining electrical work with practical service technician duties. Our client is looking for a reliable and practical individual to join their team as an Electrical Dairy Technician, working across installation, servicing, and maintenance of milking machines and related farm equipment.
About you:
This suits someone with a full EWRB electrical licence who’s comfortable on the tools and enjoys a varied workload. You might be fault‑finding wiring issues one day, repairing pumps the next, and carrying out general servicing and on‑farm repairs after that. You’ll also help support and look after an Electrical Technician who is working towards becoming a fully qualified electrician. If you’ve got a solid electrical background and like a role that keeps you moving, this could be a great fit.
Key Responsibilities:
- Install, maintain, and repair milking machines, pumps, and associated farm equipment
- Carry out servicing, testing, and compliance checks (training provided in dairy systems)
- Use your electrical skills for low‑ and standard‑voltage fault‑finding, repairs, and installations
- Assist with mechanical repairs, welding, and fabrication when needed
- Troubleshoot issues on‑site and provide practical solutions
- Support and guide an Electrical Technician who is progressing toward full qualification
- Standard hours: 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM
- Flexibility needed for early starts, later finishes, and seasonal peaks
- Weekend and on‑call work on a rotating roster (every 10 – 12 weeks)
You must hold a current full EWRB electrical licence, be based locally, and have full time work rights in New Zealand.
