What We're Looking For

• Registered Electrician with a current NZ practising licence
• Proven experience running commercial sites or leading crews as a foreman/supervisor
• Strong ability to read and interpret drawings, specs and programmes
• A natural leader who gets the best out of a crew and keeps other trades onside
• Well organised, safety-focused and calm when the pressure comes on

What's in it for You?

• Long-term role with a stable, 40+ year-old company that looks after its people
• Competitive package (negotiable based on experience)
• Vehicle, phone and tools of trade provided
• A strong pipeline of interesting commercial projects across the region
