Fabrication: Join components through professional welding techniques.
Maintenance: Keep the wheels turning by performing checks and repairs on essential equipment.

Accuracy: Use your eye for detail to ensure every part meets exact specifications.

What We’re Looking For

You don't need to be an expert yet—that’s what the apprenticeship is for! However, we are looking for candidates who possess:

A Practical Mindset: You enjoy solving problems and working with your hands.
The Right Foundation: NCEA Level 1 in English, Maths, Science, Graphics, and Workshop Technology.
Physical Stamina: Ability to handle heavy lifting and maintain steady hand-eye coordination.
Personal Qualities: You are safety-conscious, patient, and a great team player.

Why Join Us?

Expert Mentorship: Learn from seasoned engineers who are masters of their craft.
Diverse Experience: Work on equipment used in factories, farms, and refineries.

Qualification: We make sure that you stay on track to complete your qualification successfully and enjoy your time in the apprenticeship.

Entry Requirements

Successful completion of a relevant pre-apprenticeship engineering course is preferred, but not compulsory.

A strong interest in metals, electronics, and mechanical systems.
