Job description

We're looking for anexperienced Electrician to join our Cardrona Maintenance crew in a permanent, year-round role on the mountain.

This definitely isn’t your average sparky job. You’ll be working across the whole mountain, helping keep our lifts, buildings, machinery and electrical systems running safely and reliably throughout the year.

You’ll often be one of the first up the hill in the morning, getting things ready for the day ahead, fault-finding when something decides not to play ball, and working alongside a pretty great crew to keep the mountain moving.

We’re after someone who really knows their stuff, enjoys a challenge and is happy working in an environment where no two days are quite the same.

About you

You’re a qualified and experienced Electrician with current NZ electrical registration and a practising licence.

You’ve got solid experience across domestic, commercial and industrial electrical systems.

You’re confident working with large AC and DC electric motors.

You have knowledge of fire detection systems and maintenance.

You’re mechanically minded and enjoy figuring out how things work - and how to fix them when they don’t.

You can stay calm under pressure, prioritise a few jobs at once and get stuck in when things get busy.

You’re a team player, easy to work with and always happy to lend a hand.

Ski industry experience would be a bonus, but strong electrical experience is what really counts.

What do you get from it?

A pretty unique place to work, for a start.

You’ll get a free season pass for yourself in both winter and summer, plus free passes and discounts for friends and family.

You’ll also get access to some of the epic experiences across RealNZ, our parent company - from rafting and Milford Sound cruises to the Te Anau Glowworm Caves, Rakiura and more.

Most importantly, you’ll get a year-round role where you can use your trade in a completely different environment, work with a good bunch of people and call the mountain your office.

Who are we?

At Cardrona / Treble Cone, we’re a team of people from all over the world who work hard, have fun, back each other and genuinely care about doing a great job.

If that sounds like your kind of crew, we’d love to hear from you.
