Job description

Handy with tools? Turn your practical skills into a great career opportunity.

We're recruiting for a well-established New Zealand business looking for a reliable, practical person to join its installation team in Central Otago.

You don't need to be an experienced installer. If you're handy with tools, enjoy fixing or building things, and take pride in doing a job properly, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a varied, mobile role installing high-quality curtains, blinds, shutters and other window furnishings in residential homes and commercial properties.

You'll receive full training, all the tools you need and a company vehicle to get you out on the road.

What's on offer

• Competitive hourly rate

• Company vehicle provided

• All tools and equipment supplied

• Full training provided, no previous installation experience necessary

• Varied work across Central Otago

• Independence to manage your daily workload

• Ongoing support from an experienced team

• Established business with consistent workflow

The role

You'll be working at different customer locations, installing custom-made window furnishings and ensuring everything looks and operates exactly as it should.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Installing curtains, blinds, shutters, tracks and fittings
• Measuring, marking, drilling and securely fixing products
• Using hand and power tools safely
• Working from measurements and installation instructions
• Troubleshooting practical installation challenges
• Working safely on ladders and at height
• Lifting and handling materials weighing up to 25kg
• Providing friendly, professional service in customers' homes and workplaces
• Ensuring every installation is completed neatly and to a high standard

About you

We're more interested in practical ability and attitude than qualifications.

You might already be installing curtains and blinds, or perhaps you've worked in construction, building maintenance, joinery, cabinetry, glazing, flooring, kitchen installation or a similar hands-on environment.

Equally, you might simply be a capable handyperson who enjoys DIY projects and is confident using tools.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Good practical skills and a willingness to learn

• Confidence using basic hand and power tools

• The ability to measure accurately and pay attention to detail

• A practical approach to solving problems

• Good communication and customer service skills

• Reliability, a positive attitude and the ability to work independently

• A full New Zealand driver licence

• The physical capability to work on ladders and safely lift and handle items up to 25kg

Previous experience installing curtains, blinds or shutters would be highly regarded, but is not essential.

The opportunity

If you're tired of doing the same thing every day, this could be an excellent change.

You'll be out and about across Central Otago, working on different projects, meeting customers and enjoying the satisfaction of seeing a quality installation completed.

You'll join an established, respected New Zealand business that provides the equipment, training and support you need to succeed.

Whether you're an experienced installer looking for your next opportunity or a practical person keen to learn a new trade, we'd like to hear from you.

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