Curtain and Blind Installation Technician

Hands-on installation role with variety, autonomy and full training

A well-established New Zealand business is looking for a practical, reliable Installation Technician to join its Central Otago operation.

This is a mobile, hands-on role working across residential and commercial sites, completing the installation of custom interior products and related fittings. You'll manage your own day, work directly with customers, and take pride in delivering a high standard of finish.

What's on offer

• Competitive hourly rate

• Company vehicle provided

• All tools and equipment supplied

• Full technical training and ongoing support

• Varied work across Central Otago

• Autonomous role with a supportive wider team

• Staff benefits

The role

Working across Central Otago, you'll be responsible for carrying out professional on-site installations while ensuring work is completed safely, accurately and to a high standard.

Your day could include:

• Installing blinds, curtains, shutters and associated fittings

• Taking accurate site measurements

• Reading plans and working from installation specifications

• Using hand and power tools safely and effectively

• Troubleshooting installation issues on site

• Liaising professionally with customers

• Ensuring finished work meets quality and safety expectations

About you

Previous experience installing window furnishings would be useful, but it is not essential.

We are equally interested in people coming from building, construction, property maintenance, cabinetry, joinery, glazing, flooring, kitchen installation or other practical trades.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Strong practical and problem-solving skills

• Confidence using hand and power tools

• Good attention to detail

• The ability to take accurate measurements

• A professional approach when working in customers' homes or workplaces

• The ability to work independently and manage your day

• A clean, full New Zealand driver licence

• Flexibility to travel within the region when required

Full product and installation training will be provided, so attitude, reliability and practical ability are just as important as direct industry experience.

The opportunity

This is a strong option for someone who enjoys being out on the road, working with their hands and seeing a tangible result at the end of each job.

You’ll be joining an established business with good systems, ongoing workflow and a supportive team behind you, while still having plenty of independence day to day.

Applicants must currently reside in New Zealand and hold valid working rights.
