Job description

Own the night shift - keep our plant & equipment running smoothly!

03rd August, 2026

NZ Panels Group is one of New Zealand's leading manufacturers, and our East Tamaki site keeps running around the clock thanks to people who take genuine ownership of their areas. We're looking for an experienced Mechanical Maintenance Engineer to own the night shift - keeping our plant and equipment running safely, reliably, and efficiently while the rest of the site sleeps.

If you're the type of engineer who likes being trusted to get on with the job, enjoys solving problems on your own initiative, and takes pride in a well-maintained plant, this is your shift.

Why this role

• Sole-charge responsibility - you'll be the engineer on site, trusted to make the calls and keep production moving.
• Variety - front-line fault finding one night, developing a new PM procedure the next, and hands-on project work in between.
• A genuine seat at the table - you'll shape how equipment is maintained, not just follow a checklist.
• Real career runway - dual-trade and electrical experience is highly valued here, and we invest in developing our people.
• A team that backs you - you'll report to the Maintenance Supervisor and have the wider engineering and factory teams behind you.

What you'll be doing

• Front-line fault finding and preventative maintenance across our manufacturing plant and equipment.
• Carrying out equipment maintenance and accurately recording maintenance activities.
• Developing new preventative maintenance procedures to keep improving plant reliability.
• Ensuring timely repairs of plant and equipment to minimise downtime.
